This week in ministry we were faced with the problem of school fees. The trimester is coming to an end, and exams are just a few weeks a way for the children who are in school here. Many of these kids were given extensions at the beginning of the year for paying their school fees. On Monday we had a few extra students at the carepoint, and quickly learned that they were kicked out of school because their parents had not been able to pay the fees. It broke our hearts. These kids were just a few weeks away from passing the trimester, and now because of school fees, they will have to start all over again. My mom, Ashley, Zenele and I all decided to help these kids out. Although we new there are many kids in this same situation, we wanted to help the ones we had at the carepoint. So after making many trips between the school, homesteads, and the bank we were able to enter two kids back into the system! I am so excited about this, and their faces showed that they were too! The parents were also extremely grateful for the blessing. I just hope that we can figure a way to get all of our kids in school all the time.
Nomcebo, who is in first grade, also did not have a uniform like her peers. We were able to purchase one for her which she will be able to wear for a few years. Her and her mothers excitement were priceless, it made me so happy to be able to give so joyfully
