'Thank you, God, for those who gave us beautiful gifts'

To all those who helped put good quality educational toys into the hands of orphaned and abandoned children on the Missions this Christmas, these looks of wonderment and surprise are for you!

When the first delivery of toys was made to our Siyathandwa Drop-in Centre, the children could scarcely believe the toys were really theirs.They were so astonished they event forgot to smile! But once reality sank in, the fun began.

Of course, it's not just about fun. Well-chosen toys are much more than playthings. They are a vital part of every child’s early development.

In the homes of the children we care for, there is absolutely nothing to aid this vital development. Their only opportunity is at the Drop-In Centres – and through your help.

Right now, we are busy furnishing and equipping a brand new Drop-In Centre for the children of our Bethlehem Parish Mission. As always, we appreciate all the help you can give.

We wish you a blessed and peaceful 2012. Please download our handy pocket size Mission calendar here. And if you would like prayers for your special intentions to be included in our monthly Mass for Mission friends, please click here.
