stuffing more sacks!

we have been so blessed over the last week with visits from 'random people' who have heard about our work via the stuff your rucksack web site.

on friday, we were visited by peter jackets and his wife iris who blessed us with some amazing toys, dressing up clothes and colouring books for the children, peter had also raised some funds (of which we were truly thankful for) by driving around britian in his car...in less than 17 hours, i hope that was legal!....

and on sunday julia and her husband geoff visited and donated some medical and educational supplies, they visit south africa for 4 months each year and we hope that this will be the first of many visits that they make to our project.

thanks guys, and thanks to 'stuff your rucksack', what a great site and one to look at when you are planning an oversees trip, wherever you are visiting there are charities like ours that need your help.

stuffing rucksacks

yesterday we were delighted to welcome jo from england, with her nephew, along with amanda and her daughter from gordons bay (just down the road) onto the village of hope.


jo had read about our work on the 'stuff your rucksack' site, see link here, and bought over much needed items in her luggage. it was great to be able to show jo around the project and for her to see where the items were going to be used.

if you know of anyone coming over to south africa, or indeed anyone who is venturing anywhere around the world, then guide them to the stuff your rucksack site where the could link up with local charities and make a real difference to the charities working in the most desperate places in the world.

thanks jo!
