This week's been a busy one. The meeting with UWC (University of Western Cape) went well. We have a plan to start in January with getting students together with a local multi-faith leadership group that Reverend Patrick is a part of. The students will help the faith groups attain national funding that is available, but difficult to apply for (or even figure out how to apply for).
Thank you Dwight Wyse for you and your family's generosity. Dwight told me that him and his family can sponsor TLC's Christmas party for the 50 children. That will on December 4th and they are elated to have sponsorship from America for it. Dwight also donated a website for the regional Nazarene church.
Today I helped setup and run a meal for about 70 seniors from the neighborhood. It was just a way for the Aloe Community Nutrition Center to say thank you to the community for support. We had a nice meal and gave away a few prizes. It was a fun time!
This week I also helped work on Mendiza's house in Mufalani. Mendiza is Ursula's cleaning lady (she treats her as a daughter) We were putting up curtains for her and we're getting some flooring for her as well. I also got to hang out at Masi again with the kids. Once Mendiza's house is finished I may stay there a night or two per week to help at Masi. I'd like to help get them some regular funding.
Reverend Patrick wants to talk to Thuli and not let me leave Cape Town :). There was a flood that displaced 1000+ families last week in Durban so I'll keep an eye on that situation and we'll see if it closes the door. We'll see what happens.
