Hi! I am from Canada...and I have been totally blown away from this experience at iKhaya LikaBaba. I know that I've read from previous volunteers that they did not want to leave here...but I didn't fully understand it until I arrived! :)

I have never quite felt so much love in one place before - From the Wendy, to the staff, to the church and the other volunteers - I've gained a whole new family and I'm too sad to think about leaving. The children are absolutey adorable and I am so impressed by how well they are taken care of and also taught proper manners and to take care of themselves. Of course they are children, and they like to play a lot and have an occasional tantrum, but nonetheless, when you look into their eyes, you could never believe that anyone would want to abandon them.

 

I will never forget this time in my life because it has truly been a blessing and shown me how much love there can be when you serve others. Not everyone is as blessed as those in other parts of the world in terms of finances, however, here at iKhaya they are RICH in LOVE and kindness.

Thank you so much to everyone here who has made me feel at home. I am so happy and joyful that words cannot express - to my new sisters and brothers, Anne, Timon, Ty, Nikki, Helga, Swan, T, Jenny, Wendy, Andrew, Brett, Leah, Jayne, Molefe, Noma, Jodie, Peter & Lesley...and so many others...I love you more than words can say. To the little children of iKhaya...I LOVE YOU!
