Volunteer's Corner - Msizi Nkosi spent the week before easter volunteering and helping out at St. Martins. Thank you very much for you help Msizi! Here is a report he wrote about the time he spent at our village: The three days I spent volunteering at St. Martin’s Children’s Village were definitely an enriching and enjoyable experience. The people are very war and welcoming and I felt right at home from the first day. There is a lot to help out with so I was kept busy at all times, whether it was gardening, administration, driving around to visit other families, or just watching the baby. Although it was busy I wasn’t overworked as Pastor Tom and Tracy made sure I had enough water or something to eat after some hard work. Fellow volunteers Leah and Chrissie also seemed to enjoy themselves helping around the house, the garden and with J..., we all had fun. Apart from Pastor Tom and Tracy, the other staff at St. Martin’s were also very friendly and fun to work with, namely Sheila, Thoko and Linda. Although St. Martin’s only had one baby during my time here, there were a few visitors which showed me that the community is behind this project and it will grow, which is great as it is essential for the babies to have a space as warm as this.

Although the rent is quite steep, we are fortunate to be able to care for babies in a beautiful environment
