Linah, champion gardener!

Linah Jokazi, champion gardener for the Masivuke organic garden project at Westlake, showed us a massive pumpkin weighing 15kgs, which she recently harvested in her garden. Linah will be moving soon to a new allotment and her current garden will be transformed into a playground for the children. Meanwhile to help her pump water from the borehole, Linah recently acquired a new generator – thank you, Willow Creek, USA, for making this possible.

Valentine’s Day, Roses & HIV Prevention!

Xolisa, Georgio and Fiona, our team of fieldworkers, handed out roses to members of the community on Valentine’s Day, as well as HIV information – to create HIV/Aids awareness in the village and as part of prevention activities.

As you can see, even the men were delighted to receive roses on Valentine’s Day!

WUCT Annual General Meeting 6 Sept 2010

Yes, we did have an AGM in 2010.  This was held on 6 September 2010 to approve the 2009 Financial Statements.  There was a special programme with 3 testimonies from staff members and the New Apostolic Choir sang uplifting songs for us.  James McGregor outlined his  vision for the future of WUCT, and a PowerPoint presentation gave some insights into activities during the year.  This was a joyous event and afterwards snacks were enjoyed by all.  Many thanks to Eleanor for her wonderful flower arrangements.

Sorry about the quality of the photo’s – evidently the flash wasn’t working!
