Completion of Wall

On August 20, 2009, 3 p.m. the gate for the orphanage site has finally been installed. The entire perimeter is now secured and is ready for the construction of the children’s home.

The Abba Kids (former rugby users) at the Drop-in Centre are eagerly awaiting for their transfer to a family-structured and more permanent home. A place where they can take shelter 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Currently, the drop-in centre is only open Monday to Friday since the Government lent this space to us and it is closed on the weekends.

Once the children have finished their assignments at the drop in centre they still have to sleep on the streets at night. We can only do so much with limited space and facility. The intervention we are giving now could have been more intensive and broadened if we could take care of the children especially at night.
As much as possible, we don’t want these kids back on the streets especially at night. It’s such a great risk to prostitution, robbery, and rugby (solvent) or drug addiction.
Because we know, that if only they are given a choice, A HOME IS WHAT THEY’RE LONGING FOR. With the gate now installed, we are already a step closer.
