Principal Aero from the Vuvulane Primary School came to us a couple months back to ask if we would partner with the school to help the abused and neglected children (since we do that already with a few). Aero is a Christian and has a huge heart for these children, especially the Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OCV) that attend the school.
Here is the principal sharing the vision that he has for the school. He wants to see an end to the abuse and neglect that many of the children face on a daily basis. Aero also wants to see the school being able to become self-sustaining, growing food for the students and teaching them valuable work skills at the same time.
Aero has offered us this block of buildings to house an office that would be shared with the police and social workers that he would like to have on the premises in order to work together on eradicating the abuse.
We did receive a donation for the school which Aero thought it would be best to repaint this block of rooms. This is how the building looked before the paint and supplies were purchased.
This room would be turned into a library room for the children. It is in good shape and already has kid friendly furniture.
Here are the books that need to be organized for the children. We are praying about this opportunity and will make our decision whether to partner with Principal Aero and the school once we return from our trip to the UK. If we agree, this would take up a lot of our time and we wouldn't be able to do as much with Chips as we have been doing. Please join us in prayer that we would know the direction we should go with this opportunity.
