BIRTHDAY BLESSING

​It's my birthday today and I can't believe I'm 52. Like most people do, I always take stock around my birthday. Am I where I wanted to be? Am I happy and fulfilled with my life?

I am so grateful to be able to say YES, I am, and that is in large part due to the encouragement and support of so many of you reading this newsletter. Thanks to your generosity, among other things, we have been able to renovate an orphanage, build a kindergarten classroom and an indoor heated learn to swim pool, fund transportation, academic and swim lesson scholarships, teacher training programs and field trips. Now, we are well on our way to building an innovative Montessori School in Langa Township, with our Montessori teacher training program in full force.

Thanks to the incredible dedication of our South African board member/project manager, Kissmea Adams, and project coordinator, Courtnay Lockhart-Ross, we are developing a relationship with Dr. Eric Atmore from University of Cape Town and the Centre for Early Childhood Development and we are thrilled that they have offered to assist with the registration process for our school. There are other exciting developments in the works as well, which we look forward to sharing over the coming months.

My birthday blessings are magnified by this beautiful community of like-minded people - my family, friends and board members. I love you all and thank you for joining together with me to make a difference.

Am
