Highlight # 1 – Intyatyambo Care Center

One day Tag and Holly were led by a man named Marshall to a town called Humansdorp twenty minutes from Jeffery’s Bay. Marshall introduced them to the most precious woman, Virginia. Virginia is a sixty year old woman who cares for about fifteen young children in a very small shack behind her very small home. Our team fell in love with Virginia and all her babies instantly. Her heart is for all children but especially the disabled.

Because of the conditions of her crèche (daycare) she is only able to care for about two disabled children.
In December it rained so terribly that she had to move the children into her personal home because the crèche was so badly damaged by the rain. God was really starting to work during this time.

Chris and Christina Via’s parents heard about the situation Virginia was in and began to spread the word. Tag and Holly also spread the word back at home and in no time at all together we raised over $1,500 for a new floor, roof, and walls. Virginia also received $500 for new beds and over 100 new blankets for the children.

With the money received we were now able to pair willing hands (our FYM team) with brand new materials to truly give the creche an extreme home makeover. The labor was intense and much time was sacrificed, but it was well worth it to bless Momma Virginia.

We are excited to say that the children now have a much cleaner, safer, and brighter place to sleep and play. Money was also given for a months supply of food and for new toys (they had nothing at all to play with). We can’t put into words how blessed Virginia is. She has said thank you so many times we can not count. She prays God’s blessing on you all. An extra blessing from this project was how we were able to show God’s love to her community. We had so many people stop by to see the work and parents that were overjoyed by the hard work and love put into the crèche. Thank you all so much for making Virginia’s dreams come true.
