“Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
Matthew 7 v 9-12
A Season of Giving
Christmas is a time of giving and receiving. A time to be thankful as we consider the many gifts and blessings our Heavenly Father pours into our lives. The gift of His Son, Jesus, being the most cherished of all. In this time we focus our time and energy on showing our kids how valuable, worthy and loved they are. With the help of many, we give each child a personal Christmas gift, go on outings and focus on activities that build relationships and show our heart of love. Thank you to each person that provided a gift, snacks and treats, games and equipment, clothing, baked goodies and toys to make our festive season so memorable and blessed!
Summer Holidays
Our school year came to an abrupt end with iKhaya going into isolation. Thankfully we contained the COVID and none of our children contracted the virus. We thank our Father for good health and recovery of the staff and volunteers that were ill. Our kids have had an amazing summer holiday filled with loads of activities from sports, games, baking, outings and loads of spoils and Christmas gifts. The home has been abuzz with giggles, playful sounds and busyness. Here is a small taste of the FUN!
Cuties
Stimulating babies with colourful toys and bright colours and increasing their core strength through tummy time. Our liitle girls are thriving and growing so fast. Their loads of smiles and cooing just melt our hearts!

Congratulations & Celebrations
Three birthday boys were spoilt with awesome themed cakes and gifts in December. Thanks to each person who joined us in making their day so special and their wishes come true! We love it when folk partner with us to bless the kids in this way. And... They are still talking about their day!
Transnet
Thank you for the groceries Transnet! Donations like these make a huge difference to our monthly shopping bill and go a long way in caring for our youngsters. We love that you care about the community and support those in need!
Fantasy Play
Stimulating creativity through dress-up is one of the kids absolute favourite activities. We can never have too many outfits, so feel free to pass your previously loved gear our way. Our kids will escape into "Neverland" and have a blast!
Dear Friends
Compliments of the season to you all. We trust that you had a blessed Christmas, soaked up all the family time and started the new year rejuvinated and ready to face all life has to offer.
You can see that we had a very full and memorable holiday. Three of our kids spent time with their families over Christmas and we said a fond farewell to three young girls as they returned home for good. Although this is an amazing blessing for them, we miss them terribly! Pray with us that they will thrive and grow into all God has in store for their lives and for His hand of guidance and protection over them as they grow to maturity.
Our Back 2 School champaign was well supported and our 14 learners are all kitted out and rearing to go. Two four year olds start "big school" next week and they are SO excited for the day to finally arrive!
Our home maintenance needs are mounting up! Give me a shout to join the work party to give the homes a coat of paint or to sponsor the repairs.
Greetings,
Loressa, staff and kids
