NUUSBRIEF NO 2/2014 (Also available in English) DOELSTELLING Ons is n selgroep van NG Elarduspark gemeente wat babas van n groepie behoeftige en meestal werklose ouers wat in Elandspoort woon, van formulemelk voorsien. Ons besoek die groepie mammas en babas elke tweede week. Ons spandeer tyd saam met hulle om hulle beter te leer ken en n verhouding te bou met elkeen. Ons voorsien elke baba in die program elke tweede week van genoeg melk vir elke voeding tot ons volgende besoek. Ons ontvang donasies van melk, geld vir melk en soms babaklere, toiletware, doeke ens. Ons fokus is om hierdie babas van behoorlike voeding te voorsien, sodat hulle optimaal kan ontwikkel en n beter kans kan hê om bo hulle omstandighede uit te styg. Verder wil ons die liefde van Jesus teenoor hulle en die mammas uitleef. As hulle nie melk kan bekostig nie, word die babas dikwels op tee grootgemaak, en ly hulle liggaamlike en intelektuele ontwikkeling erg skade. DANKIE Ons innige dank aan ons groep getroue donateurs wat elke maand geld skenk, ook aan diegene wat van tyd tot tyd bydra, en aan ons anonieme skenkers! Oorweeg dit asb om n naam en e-posadres of telefoonnommer aan ons te stuur ons kommunikeer graag per e-pos met ons donateurs om dankie te sê en meer terugvoer te gee op n gereelde basis. Dankie ook aan almal wat bid vir die projek, en diegene wat ander benodigdhede skenk. TERUGVOER Soos verlede jaar het ons weer vir die mammas gevra om briefies te skryf aan die donateurs, om self direk dankie te sê aan die mense wat deel is van die projek maar met wie hulle nie kontak het nie. Hulle was weer entoesiasties oor die idee, en het hulle briefies vir ons gebring. Ons was self baie emosioneel daaroor, omdat dit ons ook n ander perspektief gee op die uitreike. Een mamma se woorde hulle verneder jou nie het ons aan die hart geruk dit het bewys hoe belangrik dit is om iemand se menswaardigheid te respekteer en te besef dat as jy met stukkende mense werk, jy heilige grond betree. Ons stel dus die mammas self aan die woord met uittreksels uit die briefies

8 NEWSLETTER NO 2/2014 (Ook beskikbaar in Afrikaans) AIM OF PROJECT We are a cell group of the Dutch Reformed Church in Elardus Park who supply a group of babies of poor and mostly unemployed parents living in Elandspoort with formula. We visit this group of mothers and babies every second week, and supply them with enough formula for every feed for every baby until our next visit. We spend the time with them getting to know them better, and building a relationship with every mother. We receive donations of formula, cash and sometimes baby clothing, toiletries, nappies etc. Our main focus is the proper nutrition of these babies, and to aid their development so that they have a better chance to escape their dismal circumstances. Furthermore we want to bring the love of Jesus to the moms and babies. It is very sad that some babies are raised on tea, and their physical and intellectual development grossly neglected. THANK YOU Our heartfelt gratitude to all our regular donors who contribute every month, and to those who do so from time to time, and our anonymous donors! Please consider giving us your contact details, as we would like to thank you properly by email and also send you feedback on a regular basis A big thank you to all who pray for the project, and to those who donate baby clothes etc. FEEDBACK As we did last year, we again asked the moms to write letters to our donors, and to thank them by this route, as they do not have direct contact with them. They were once again enthusiastic about the idea, and brought their letters to us. We were very emotional reading all the letters, as it gave us a different perspective on the project. The words of one mom they do not humiliate us really touched our hearts this was proof again of the importance of respecting people s dignity and realizing that you are on holy ground as you work with fragile people. Without love this is not possible. We now give the moms a turn to speak!
