After all the struggles of finding a suitable school for this boy we are glad to say that he was accepted at a school in our area that provides a bridging course to help him catch up with his academic subjects and where he will be able to learn a trade.

Happy New Year!!!

We hope that you had a great festive season!!

Our children were really spoiled this Christmas – a big thank all who contributed so generously towards the Christmas gifts and parties, it was a memorable time for the children.

On Christmas Day, all the children, volunteers and caregivers met up at the McAlpine house where they had a swim and a Braai (for the Americans that would be a BBQ) on a typical December day in SA – bright blue skies, hot temperatures and a slight breeze if you were lucky!



Fun swimming


After the braai , the children toasted marshamallows
