Mother of Peace Orphanage says siyabonga* to Christ College

 

Christ College was delighted to welcome Hugh and Irene Holland from the Mother of Peace Orphanage in KwaZulu Natal. In an informative and sometimes moving address, Mr. Holland spoke of how the orphanage came about, as the result of a prayer group that wanted to do something practical to look after children whose parents had been lost to AIDS.

 

The Orphanage is located at a former sugar cane plantation, and the children are clothed, fed and well looked after. They go to school, and there is a strong spiritual component in their lives.

 

Additionally, Hugh and Irene received a cheque for £350 which was raised when the school took part in fundraising events last December (see Christ College Pupils ‘Walk the Walk’ for good Causes on this page).

 

 

*Siyabonga means thank you in Zulu. It is also the name of one of the children who lives at the orphanage.
