Our first harvest of cucumbers and spinach. We also got cherry tomatoes, lettuce and loads of herbs! Toekomsvonk thank you so much!
Everyone is working hard this morning in the vegetable garden. So blessed to have such an amazing group. Even the children wanted to help.
URGENT!!! URGENT!!! Hi everyone we need help urgently! Our generator has packed up completely. It cannot be repaired as it would cost the same as purchasing a new one. We are reliant on the generator to pump water. Without water we would have to get our folks somewhere else to stay and this just before Christmas. We don't have electricity on the farm. We desperately need to replace the generator. Is there anyone that is able to help us please. Contact Leigh on 0727388101. This is an emergency please anyone help. Thank you.
We would just like to thank Martie from Azania Recycling and Rian Harman from R&R Services who came out with their generator to pump water for us. You are absolutely amazing. If not for them we would have no water because our generator has packed up completely.
A huge thank you to Toekomsvonk for their amazing donation of sweet potatoes. You are awesome!
A very big thank you to Pastor Eugene who came through and gave us a beautiful, powerful message. He always seems to give the best message ever. What a blessing it is to receive it. We had an amazing meal together. Thank you so much to Rika who cooked a wonderful meal.
Summer brings new life and we have new born chicks on our Farm Project.

Update on our vegetable garden: We have had wonderful rains and just look at how our vegetables are growing! Our tomatoes, green peppers and cucumbers are flowering. Soon we will have beautiful fruits. This is so rewarding and our folks cannot wait to harvest our first vegetables. Thank you Toekomsvonk for the seedlings! You are teaching our folks to care for themselves.
Here are the ladies with their new aprons! They love them and the best of all they made it themselves. Lots of laughter and fun.
Our woman are sewing overlays this afternoon so that the dining room tables will look beautiful for Christmas lunch. At the same time they are learning different techniques.
Our women are scrubbing the kitchen and floor today. They are such hard workers. So proud of these moms who never stand back for anything.
Our women are making their own aprons today. The fabric was donated and they don't have aprons to work in the kitchen. Leigh has been teaching them to make their own. None of them have worked on a machine before. They are doing a fabulous job.
We have fantastic news on our Farm Project. All 4 of our men have found jobs and have started working!! 1. Tyron is working for our neighbors who are amazing people and does general maintenance and water detection. The family will be moving on soon to stay and work. 2. Joshua has found a job installing security systems with a business owner in our area. 3. Hans has found a job as a welder in Sinnoville. He is starting today and he is a ball of funny this morning. So excited! Our last dad 4. Louis has an interview at a butcher but in the meantime is helping Marius to do some work for friends of ours. These men felt broken and lost when they arrived here. Today they are all smiles and looking forward to earning an income. It could not have come at a better time, just before Christmas. We are so super proud of each and everyone of you! Remember: Keep your heads up, work hard, believe in yourself because you are worth it and above all thank God.
A huge thank to Helga Swart and Amor Gerber and everyone at Toekomsvonk that brought much needed food, seedlings and the security beams and cameras. We are so thankful for you.
