Graceland serves the poorer farming community in the outskirts of Stellenbosh by providing a preschool to stimulate over 60 children who might otherwise be left at home alone or on the streets.

December News


For the past few months the Lord has been good to us, not just for the donations that we’ve received but because each student and staff member has remained healthy.

We’ve been blessed with many different kinds of people coming to our school and we learnt a lot from them. Since July we have had 2 volunteers; 1 from Texas, Angie Almand and Eva from Germany (who also blessed us with a fridge!) The two of them really enjoyed themselves here. Although they have now returned home we really miss them as they very quickly became part of the family.

We also had a visit from Trinity Church from Dallas, USA who blessed us by painting our building again. Helen, one of the group members sponsored baby dolls to our children so we have had a lot of fun! Pastor John from Zambia Every Nation also came to visit us recently. Every Nation students, who have served us this year with activities and bible stories, gave our children a farewell party.  
 
These last few weeks we have been very busy training the children for our concert and graduation. It all culminated in ‘Graceland’s Got Talent’ which was a fantastic afternoon and the kids made us all extremely proud. We will really miss those who are moving on to primary school and wish them every success.
