News from May !
I am so grateful to all those who have helped me spread the "e'Pap word" ..a much greater awareness has been created and now when I mention the fund most people already know about it ! This month I received two very generous and wonderful PayPal donations from America . My awesome "cyber " friends who donate monthly to the fund were visiting their 86 year old Aunt Afton in hospital where she was recovering from hip-replacement surgery ..they showed her some pictures of the kids and explained about the e'Pap . Without missing a beat this wonderful lady promptly wrote out a cheque for us !  Not long after that my friends asked another relative , Judy, to take along some more pics of the kids saying thank-you to Afton ..when Judy saw the beautiful pics she immediately wrote another cheque out for us too !! WOW !! So much unexpected wonderful love and support from this family ..thank-you again from all of us here !! We pray that Afton is well on the road to recovery after her surgery.  After carefully explaining to the kids all about "Gogo"Afton (Gogo means Granny in Xhosa) they clapped and sang enthusiastically and then added a little prayer too..my heart nearly burst !!! 

Lusty songs for Afton

On their own accord they added a prayer too !

Love for Gogo Afton

Very earnest and fervent prayers for Afton's recovery!

May brought with it Mother's Day and our Jeanne's lovely family in Australia sent money for e'Pap in lieu of flowers for her ! What a beautiful gesture and so gratefully received ! Thank-you so much Natalie and family ..your gift is priceless !!
 Jeanne herself was also very busy this month ~ she gathered support and cash from friends to buy fleecy fabric for blankets and made 18 lovely toasty warm blankies for the Sinahko sweethearts ( just in time for the cold weather that has suddenly arrived !) The little one's at this poorest of poor little schools were so delighted.  Thank-you for caring Jeanne..you are wonderful XX

May was also Marion's birthday ! We had a wonderful party with amazing Turkish  food ! What a treat ! In lieu of gifts for the birthday girl cash was donated to the feeding fund and R300.00 was collected ! Enough for over 400 meals !! Thank-you so much for your lovely gesture Marion !

Happy Birthday Marion !!!

Some new local supporters, David and Lynette Elvidge, lent a helping hand on an e'Pap run and got to meet the care-givers and kids ! It was great to have you along David and Lynette and I am so grateful and humbled by your love and support ! Thank-you !!
