Why are so many of our very poor people feeling that they must provide such expensive funerals for their loved ones? It creates so much debt and hardship in these families.  I wish some high profile South Africans would lead the way even in their death and request modest coffins and funerals.

Emerald Risk Transfer will be doing a work day with us on the 13th of July at Khanya and Entlantleni. They are going to insulate and pait the playrooms, arrange for electricity points into the playrooms so that they can have light and econoheaters, make larger veggie gardens, paths, put in water tanks, a sand pit. They will also help to make sure the children have their individual wash cloths - hung on hooks with pictures so that they know which is theirs. Some of these things will be done before the work day.

They have been very organised and thoughtful about what the children will need. Thanks so much! We are so grateful!

I met with very nice people from Tanker Services who have been helping Bokomoso Centre.

I read with horror last weekend about a crèche in Gauteng that was punishing babies under a year by making them suck on a earbud dipped in clove oil
