Visit Martinair Technicians

On Monday the 22 nd of January we got a lot of help from 9 Technicians of Martinair.
Hans Katoen from KLM' s Wings of Support had organised a working trip to Johannesburg for the technicians, we were very lucky to have some help with the ceiling in the safe house of CLM in Diepsloot and with the feeding of all the children in Riversands Primary school and digging a few beds in the vegetable garden.
Thank you all so much.
I am every time again surprised about the kindness of people, even from so far away, to come and help and work hard in a place and for people they dont even know! and for free ofcourse.

2007 starts with great news!

At the start of this new year we heard that the money from ST.ABCD has arrived.
St.ABCD is a Dutch organisation who looks for sponsors for projects of Dutch people in third world countries. My friend Marleen Buscop in Holland had applied for the vegetable garden to be put on their list, we send in a letter about what we are doing here and yes we were accepted, the rest of the work was done in Holland by Marleen, thank you so much Marleen thanks to you we can start soon with building our next wall for terrace 4 and put the irrigation in there as well.

We would also like to thank all the ladies of the Soroptimistclub Leiden-Aurora for donating to our garden, thank you so much for your generosity.

Heel veel dank aan alle vrienden en familie van Marleen en myzelf die hebben bijgedragen aan het geweldige bedrag dat we van St. ABCD ontvingen aan het begin van dit nieuwe jaar.
