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.

April News


Last month, students from Every Nation Church in Stellenbosch took our children to the beach.  One boy, Christiano, just played in the sand cause he was afraid of the water! The other children enjoyed themselves very much.
We have other thank yous too: Devon Valley Farm Association who have donated 10 Plastic Scooters to the children. They kids love them! And some German Visitors have donated paint so we can give our sickroom and library a much needed facelift. Graceland staff and children appreciate it vey much.
Leon, our caretaker, and Zoey, a volunteer, have given our storeroom a spring clean and been through all the things that we don’t use any more. We were able to send some of the things through to the other Thembalitsha projects in Grabouw. It was nice to be able to bless them.
