November has been a month in which we have been very thankful.

We moved our boys into their new wing complete with newly decorated bedrooms and a nice bathroom. The girl’s lounge was remodelled with new murals, carpet, furniture, and curtains. The girl’s dorms got new carpet and a new coat of paint. Murals are being painted for them and our toddlers now.

4 of our kids graduated to grade 1 during our AGM ceremony. The children graduated from Grade R to Grade 1. Congratulations Esther, Nokwanda, Luyanda, and Simphiwe. We are so proud of you!

Our school began new reading groups thanks to our Australian volunteer teachers. Th teachers have divided the children in Christian Life Academy into reading groups based on their ability. We read with different groups daily. We have seen such an improvement in the kids’ reading abilities this month

Sweetwaters home visits are still going strong. 3 patients saved since August!

We are continuing training classes to the Sweetwaters community giving them much needed information on hydration and cancer. The response has been overwhelming with wonderful attendance so far as you can see.We are so grateful for all that the Lord is doing here!
