Several new people supported and joined our 10/10/10 campaign! Six Hermanus Rotary members supported us, as well as several USA friends: Elizabeth Stong, K Karpen (both in New York City); Sarah Nash (an alumni) and Mary Lasher. A big thanks to all of you. Thank you also to Hermanus Rotary for hosting us on Thursday night and for your great donation! We look forward to hosting you at RDP soon.

The 10/10/10 campaign is picking up speed

1. How do I say thank you enough for great support and for believing in the work and vision of VYLTP? A wonderful young dominee, Bonganjalo Mbenenge from Jo’burg, pledged and paid R1000 towards the 10/10/10 campaign! Thank you so much my godson! Thank you also to several others who have given over the past month and more, especially the Gambale family and others.
2. Our young people have also begun to recruit supporters in Zwelihle and Mt Pleasant, people who are willing to give R10 per month from the little that they have. We look forward to the current trickle becoming a stream and then becoming a flood. I have posted the 50 10/10/10 campaign forms to Thobeka Dodo in Durban.

The young people made us and themselves proud on Thursday when they presented about their Grahamstown/Makhanda trip in the chapel at Volmoed. This was also a way to build their confidence to do public presentations. For people whose first language is not English, they did very well!

Highlights of the week, and a spotlight for next week
