Our house

Just to give a small up-date about our house.... We are doing great, the two boys are doing well at school and they stay out of trouble, so we are very proud of them. By selling their necklaces they are able to provide themselfs with extra´s. One of the boys is starting with his drivers licences and the other one will start dance lessons. They are investing their money in things they are good at, what gives them reason, hope in their lives and realy enjoy. Soon my mom will come to visite us again, and all of us are looking forward to see her here in South Africa again. They call her Gogo (grandmother). For the moment we can not take more boys in the house which I regret because I know another boy who realy would like/need to live with us. He is trying on his own to make a better live for himself but it would be much better if he stays with us. He is 17 years old and has made some mistakes in his live already but is willing to leave everything for a better future. But I am sorry to say that financialy we can not effort to have another boy. If you or some one you know who can help us out please let me know, it will make a difference in their lives as I have seen with the boys in our house.

New school year starting 2010

At this moment I support 6 teens to continue their education. I hope (and they say they will) go to their gratuate year next year..(School year South Africa January - December).2010 will be very important for these teens, they will get their Matric (High school diploma) and ofcourse all the soccer world cup is going on......
This year with help of my friend in holland, the Rise Foundation in the UK, family and friends we were able to help these teens to go to school. For the next year I again can count on my friend in Holland to help with financial support (and mentally), 50% of the whole year. So herewith I would like to request if there are some more people, friends, family, companies, organisations etc. who can help me out to continue with supporting these teens at school. For 50€ pm/per child I can provide them with school fees, stationary and transport. Ofcourse you can also help out by donating smaller amount for school fees 20€ pm/per child, Transport 20€ pm/per child. General Stationary any amount. Or any other donation is very much welcome.
Please help me out so these teens can continue at school.

















Thank you so much in advance,
