We are excited to announce that Sinegugu is now living at Makaphuto Home and has been re-admitted to Forest View School, where she was attending last year. It has been a tremendously active year for the children of Agape and we are so excited that Makaphuto has welcomed Sinegugu AND that Forest View has been able to welcome her back.
Zakhele, Olwethu and Aphiwe are presently living at Makaphuto Home. They all arrived in April and are doing well. Zakhele is at Hillcrest in the 8th grade. He just finished football season and is about to try cricket for the first time. Wish him luck! Olwethu is attending Wilderness Training Programme and doing well in this smaller environment. There are only 9 students and it is situated in a beautiful garden not far from Makaphuto. We are currently looking for a sponsor for Olwethu.
