Need Your Help
South Africa is a country where the life expectancy is 52 years, because of limited access to health care. Where 1/4 of the population live off less than $1.50 Australian a day. Where citizens spend more time at funerals than weddings, haircuts or grocery shopping. I would like to do some thing about this, but I need your help!
I would really like to raise some money to take over to The Love of Christ home for abandoned children, where I am heading for 3 months. My trip has already been covered for financially, I am just hoping to take some money over to the home, so that they can continue doing the great work they do - things like buying nappies, educating the children, getting medication, clothing and food for the kids etc. Our money buys a lot over there and every dollar is such a help!
So I am having a little dessert and games afternoon to raise some money and so people can hear about the great work they are doing over there. There will be a box at the door where you can make a donation for entry, it can be as little or as much as you would like. I am not looking for a certain amount of money or a large amount of money, each dollar given is a dollar more the home has than it did yesterday and a big help! Every dollar which is put in the box I will take directly to Africa and will be spent on the children.
ALL are welcome to come!
It is at Christ Church Gladesville at 2pm on the 2nd of November.
I really appreciate your support and partnership in this.

Calling All Crafters!
I have been inspired!
I was reading through a great little book about making toys for children and I have been inspired to make some toys for the little ones in South Africa!
I know I could just as easily buy toys, but these ones come with love!
So far I have made...
Debo the donkey (I wanted to name it after my mum, but she wasnt so keen. So this was the compromise.)
But I need some help!
I only have 2 hands and sadly I cant spend all day crafting. So if you have any crafty ability and want to take the challenge with me to make a toy for a little one in Africa, I would love your help! It doesnt need to be fancy or big, just made with love!
Because I am sure the little ones over in South Africa would be so thankful for anything made with such love!

And I am half way through knitting a teddy bear
