These three beautiful little girls lost their father to AIDS two months ago. On Friday morning, their mother passed away. We are working at the edge of destruction, death, and despair. It's time to get involved and do your part to change the future for hundreds of children just like these. July 20th, 2010
Londeka and Amahle attend our program faithfully every week. Late last night, they lost everything when their tiny shack burned down. We almost lost little Amahle, who was the last to run from the house, her clothes on fire. May 26th, 2010
Found these two standing by the curb with their nine year old sister early this morning. After questioning them, I found out that mom was too sick to move or speak, and had sent them get a taxi minibus to granny's house on the other side of the squatter camp. I drove them, and granny told me that their father had died yesterday, but she knew mom couldn't handle the news in her condition. Mom may soon be gone, too. What will they do? May 3rd 2010
