Thabo Buthelezi's thank you

Thabo is 10 years old and attends Sfisesihle Primary School in Mpophomeni. He is doing Grade 3 in 2010. Zintle, our Home Based Carer who supports the Buthelezi family helped obtain a full school uniform for Thabo from the Singatha Uniform Fund operated by CINDI. Thabo's joy and gratitude is wonderfully captured in this letter he wrote to us. Please pray for Thabo and all 200 children who Ethembeni ministers to each week.

Ethembeni Beach Holiday 2009

A photographic memoir

With beautiful views to admire, local fishermen to watch, fun splashing in the waves with friends, or sitting on the beach quietly contemplating - this was a beautiful, relaxing holiday.





Our accomodation was pretty and festive with fun pictures on the walls and cheerful duvets on the beds. For those idle moments, there were also fascinating objects for us to wonder at and admire.




Not content to allow us to be lazy, Kathryn divided us into twos so we could decorate each other's T-shirts! Even those of us who don't pretend to be creative managed, and others were inspired. See for yourself :





We surprised Linda with a baby-shower in honour of her first baby, and ensured that she was suitably attired and that her baby would be thoroughly spoilt...



No Ethembeni gathering is ever complete without wonderful joyful singing and dancing! And so we praised the Lord and made a joyful noise at every possible opportunity.
