Dear Starchild Readers

Welcome to Starchild Global's project for Children in Africa.

This is Sir Lowry's Pass Village, and the lunch line at the present soup kitchen.

The kitchen is presently housed on a piece of vacant land next to the clinic. It feeds as many as 300 children from the area, and this includes a squatter camp where people live in great poverty and hardship. They cannot afford to feed their children, and the community has started this kitchen to ensure that there is some care for the children. At present, the kitchen operates on private donor funding and manages to offer one meal a day from Monday to Friday.

The "kitchen" itself is a modified shipping container with only very basic facilities. It is staffed by volunteer workers, some from the impoverished community who get paid nothing for their work and dedication.

Starchild Global has become involved in a project to upgrade the Soup Kitchen and its vegetable garden. We also intend to help the community to establish a flower garden and a play area for the children, to improve the quality of life for these beautiful children.

I also hope to work with the Soup Kitchen staff to ensure that meals can also be provided on the week-end, or on a seven day basis. After all, as you no doubt know, children don't just stop getting hungry because its the week-end!

I am always impressed, when I go there, how loving and friendly and joyous these children are, despite the circumstances in which they live. It is my privilege and pleasure to be a part of this project to help to bring light to their lives.

Starchild Global is not a registered charity, and so this work is being run as a private project . The donations come to me and I decide with the community where we will use your money.

I will be posting the progress of the project here on the web, so you are welcome to follow our project and see how your donations are being used.

This is a chance for us as Lightworkers to bring some Light into the lives of these beautiful Crystal Children who live in Africa.

Because of the generous responses of our readers, we have already been able to raise ZAR 3,500, and so we have begun work on the project.
