The women of Kopanang wish to thank all the wonderful across-school efforts during Santa Fest last week by students and accompanying staff for providing such amazing support through your fund-raising on their behalf. You have no idea what this means to them, in terms of giving them dignity, hope, practical support and solidarity. Every visit over so many years of Santa Sabina students on immersion, and my ongoing visits to them, they never fail to express deep gratitude that their humiliation has been taken from them because you all care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before we began being able to provide a uniform grant to every child in the project, some children took turns to go to school on different days in the one scruffy, ill-fitting uniform, broken down shoes, threadbare collars.\u00a0This was hard not just on the students, but on the mothers, most of whom are single parents, struggling just to feed their families.\u00a0Kopanang is their life-line;\u00a0Santa Sabina gives them heart and hope.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thank you seems so very inadequate. If you are interested, there is a 16 minute documentary on the early years of the project:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
