December 2014 – The Davis Family

Last month, on November 14th, we were privileged to be invited to attend the graduation ceremony of Zisukhanyo Educare Centre, the creche that we are partnered with. There was a class of 11 children who will be leaving to attend primary school next year. It was a very sweet, special, African time and we were glad to be there and glad to have Esther with us so she could experience it as well. Josh and I were able to share something with the parents and there were prayers and songs, and food.

I have come to see how important education is. Especially when you are coming from a community with an unemployment rate of over 50%. It was very exciting to see this small group who will go into school ready for the challenge having already had a positive experience with education. And it is with all thanks to their very dedicated team of teachers who really have a heart for the kids and serve the children and community. They make a lot of sacrifices to make education available to children who wouldn’t have a head start like this otherwise.
