RE: A dream becomes reality.

in OCD3 years ago

This is just awesome Zac, I'm so happy that all your perseverance has paid off and that you got this sponsorship! Kudos to the Imibali Trust and to all of you involved in giving up your time, and to the guys teaching them! Blessings to you and Marian for just keeping on through tough times, not only with the feeding scheme, but also with your other projects. Giving hope to those people and giving these children the skills that will certainly help them reach their full potential! You made me shed a few happy tears reading this, wonderful news💞

Now this is the kind of comment that gives me "gooseflesh", as it is so clear to me that you understand the importance of what we are doing. To bring real hope to others by teaching them to help themselves. Not dodgy and false hopes, but the real thing.
The trick is to discover the talents in each child and then to develop those talents.

I think that you know since our relocation down here to the Cape 3 years ago, we and Papillon first had to root ourselves in order to recreate the great successes that we had for the 17 years that we spent up north, but slowly the trust in us has started to build up again.
Yes, it is tough going but real success always require sacrifices.
Nobody trusts people that does things for free, unless they can get some benefit from it.

The feeding is a free hand out and the skills development is a hand up in life.
My reasoning is very simple. If you can help one person then you can help a thousand people and all that it takes is commitment and dedication.

Thank you for the kind comment and have a free !PIZZA
