Wonderful letter from Cape Town
Below is a letter from our wonderful Cape Town sister non-profit:
Greetings dear Barb!
I hope this year brings wealth, health, peace and prosperity to you and all your loved ones.
2007 has started with a bang for us.....some wonderful donations from UK (one from the actor who played Gandalf in Lord of the Rings!) have enabled us to begin building 2 eco-cottages, to finish the clinic and to plan an educational centre and backpacker hostel. Our little project is taking wings and flying. I truly believe that the goodwill and kindness of people like yourself and all your supporters adds to the great flow of positivity that this world needs so desperately.
The donations also mean that we can have our website properly serviced, and will be generating a regular monthly newsletter, as well as enabling secure payments to be made online.
It is coming at us from all over the world. A wonderful woman in Australia has told her family and friends that Christmas 2007 will be different. She will be giving everyone 'an orphan' for Christmas. i.e in her friend's name she will be feeding, clothing and schooling an orphan for a year. Our website designer is going to give passwords to a secure website page where they will be able to track their adopted child's progress, and we will put scans of their artwork and letters etc - like a blog for each orphan. She has invited me to go over there to give a presentation to a group of her wealthy friends about the project. So next month I am off down under for a few weeks.
By the end of Feb we will have the cottages built and gardens (square foot style!!) planted. So whenever you need to visit (or any of your friends and the kind people who have supported us) please know that there is accommodation in the friendliest community in Cape Town available as our guests.
Warm African love from a hot and sunny Cape Town
Di
With Love and thanks to all who support the World Grace Foundation
