 Bontle Shadi Makgwa, a single mother of twin Todd’s… 6 in July plus  carer of 3 siblings going through varsity and high school.  Aware and grateful for what she has, feels priviledged and believes this also brings responsibility

As a ‘Jozikids’ Mom, I was very disturbed by the disaster that occurred in Haiti and just felt the pain that those children affected could be feeling  as they now have no mother, father, sibling, friend or guardian anymore.  I got home after looking at the pictures I downloaded from the internet, after having shared them with my colleagues at work, I showed them to others  so that they could see and understand.  I explained to them what had happened and asked if they could pray with me for all those little children,  just like them , in the hope that they could one day be happy little ones.

My pledge is: to all the other mothers around South Africa to show or explain to your children what is going on there, make them aware how blessed they are, teach them to be grateful (no matter how young they are, the sooner they learn, the better) and a thought in prayer from a little one here at home can make another little child in Haiti have a chance in hope.

My deepest prayers and thoughts.
