Read a heart warming thank you letter from Sylvia of Maria’s House in South Africa.

“Hiya All
Greetings from Miami

A very big thank you to Nancy and AAI for making the trip possible and for the very generous and kind donation.
A very big thank you to Cheryl for being such an amazing leader always so positive and bubbly encouraging and inspiring. Thank you for all your hard work behind the scenes putting the trip together.

A very big thank you to all you special sky angels. It was soo nice to meet you and thank you thank you thank you for being such a blessing to us.

Thank you soo much for your caring giving compassionate hearts and amazing generosity of donations and goodies, kindness and love shown to Maria, Grant Sharon and the kids. Thank you soo much for your selfless giving of time and effort in coming all the way to help.  A big WOW thank you for all the goodies – it was absolutely amazing and just like Christmas. Please convey our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to all the people who collected and so generously donated as well.  Thank you soo much for all the hard work in painting giving the office and counseling centre a bright new look, re-decorating making the classroom a happy place for learning and gardening helping to supplement our veggies- all of which was very much appreciated again making a significant difference. The face painting and playing with the kids was fun and the dress up was a very big hit with lots of laughs. The older kids really enjoyed the interaction and interest that you took in them.  So often they feel forgotten but you made them feel very special. They will brag about overseas visitors for weeks.

Many if not most of the children at the crèche just don’t get the kind of love you showed – just a hug and a cuddle has a lasting effect in often hopeless and helpless situations. What may seem little to you makes a huge difference to these children.

A massive footprint of love and caring has been left in our hearts and we feel very blessed by all your help and support.
The “world” is a better place because of people like you, not just giving hope but making a tangible difference in many lives.

We are blessed that our paths crossed and hope to welcome you back again in the not too distant future.

Lots of love and hugs
Gogo Sil 🙂 xx”
