No Where to Sleep

Jo Ann’s recent trip to the Tshilidzini Special School in Limpopo Province proved to be quite productive. While the children’s needs are many and our focus has always been on providing an effective education for the 363 special needs students who attend TSS, Jo Ann became aware of more pressing basic issues.  The dormitory is spartan, but more importantly, there aren’t sufficient beds for all of the students.  The mattresses that ARE available are old, foul-smelling and urine stained. We have decided to make ‘new mattresses’ an HFL priority.  It is unrealistic to expect these eager young “learners” to succeed when they are unable to get adequate rest.

A medium density foam mattress covered with medi-care waterproof fabric costs $97.50 (USD). We would be happy to combine your contribution with other donations in an effort to purchase one of these mattresses. If you would like to assist us in this most basic endeavor, please contact us at  info@hopeforlimpopo.org.  Thank you!

They Did it Again and We're Happy They Did!

Award winning children’s author and HFL Friend, Cristina Kessler, held a ‘Magical Evening’ fundraiser on the island of St John for the benefit of Hope for Limpopo. World-renowned magician and founder of Cause to Wonder Lisa Menna, used her magical powers to entice world-class magician Steve Silverman to perform his dazzling wonders for 32 select guests.

The proceeds from this venue will sponsor 10 vulnerable children allowing them to attend Vhutshilo Mountain School for another year. Cristina’s personal goal was to sponsor “ten beautiful little kids”….and they surely raised enough money to do just that!

Sponsorship provides a child with educational costs, school supplies, 2 nutritious meals per day, transport to and from school, clothing, medical support and an occasional family food package.

Thank you to everyone who helped to “Put Smiles on Our Children’s Faces”! You have proven that a small island can impact villages!

Please consider having your own fundraiser to benefit any number of causes HFL supports. Contact us with any ideas you may have for a fun HFL fundraiser. We will be happy to help you choose a ‘Cause’ and to assist you in any way we can.
