Great results for Safe House children
I recently had a phone call that made my week. Since leaving
Fish Hoek we have been able to maintain fairly regular contact with our
partners and I was lucky to be able to visit Kiddies Corner for their
graduation ceremony two weeks ago. I was very pleased to see how much our
partners still appreciated us and how well they were doing now that we are not
there every day and this phone call made that even clearer. It was Rachel, one
of the safe house mothers. She was
ringing to tell me that she had just collected the report cards of all her
children and they had all passed well. In fact one passed so well that she has
been awarded a scholarship to begin in 2014. Quite apart from the fact it is
always nice to chat to friends that haven’t been seen for a while, it was a
wonderful feeling to know that, after 3 months, we are still thought of in
Masi, and that our work is still bearing fruit. I know that anyone who has been
involved with the Safe Houses since we started there in August 2011 will agree
that we had the pleasure of working with some incredibly bright children and from
Rachel and myself thank you to every person who came through GVI Fish Hoek for
helping them to realise their potential.
