Happenings this Month

SOUTH AFRICA



"The roof is full of holes. When we visited a few weeks ago after the rains, the carpet on the ground was soaked and the mud was squelching up between my toes. The walls are in dire need of fixing with mildew stains and mold growth. The wind whistles through the cracks between the ceiling and walls." Silviya Simmonds reports the story... Meet Silviya and the children! Plan now for the September trip! More Info...
