A Letter from Cape Town

Dear Neil

Apologies if I was unfocused on Christmas Eve when you called. Nadia with partner had arrived from Rwanda just before and my son Lawrence's totally unexpected arrival, flying in from Uganda at about the same time, just threw me. It was a real emotional time because I hardly every get to have all three children together anymore. AND I was putting the final touches to a huge Christmas Eve dinner (you probably know Christmas Eve is a big evening for Europeans). Therefore please forgive me for babbling.

How is your Mom? I wish her speedy recovery so you two can enjoy the last days of 2011 and start the New Year happily together!!

Our Treasurer phoned today, the money (R 11,400) has already arrived! Thank you so much for this unexpected donation!

I already told you that, with Vivian's support we are helping with the development of a new crèche for very, very poor children from Dunoon, to get registered and subsidised by Social Development. We already put in junior toilets, electricity, running water, and for Christmas I bought chairs and tables (see photos attached) so the children don't have to sit on the ground any longer. In the new year we want to get estimates for plastering, ceilings, flooring, food bowls and mattresses for the children etc etc. Your money together with some money from a German company will now make it possible! Thank you, Neil.

Wishing you and your Mom a happier time and health and enjoyment for 2012

Much love

Gisela
