Wonderful News of a VMS School Addition




HOORAY! We’re back online after a long and arduous hiatus. Sorry for the unintentional interruption but we are now anxious to share the myriad of exciting things that have transpired during our communication glitch.

First and foremost we MUST share news of the ecologically friendly VMS school addition that is nearing completion thanks to the financial support of Hope for Limpopo, Whitney Falk & Jefferies & Co., Cristina Kessler and the St John supporters of ‘Another Magical Evening’, the Church of Scotland, South Coat Foundation USA, and Student Volunteers Abroad (SVA) at Glasgow University. It certainly “takes a village” and we are grateful for everyone’s support.

Knowing that this economical and ecological construction project has created many jobs for both women and men in the surrounding villages reinforces HFL’s determination to continue to find self-sustaining, relevant opportunities for local residents.

The sandbag building system we are using is exciting, innovative construction technology and we will gladly share our information on the subject in subsequent blogs.

Please watch for future details on this powerful project.
