All Africa Helping Hands

Across the entire African Continent today, members from every Ward and Branch from our Church have dedicated much of the day today to participating in some form of community service. Last year, over 100,000 Church members in African countries participated. Today, members of our Port Alfred Branch spent the morning painting the exterior walls of the new Child Welfare home here. In doing so, they have helped to create a very warm and inviting environment for the children that will be living there. The facility is designed to house 12 children on a permanent basis, with 2 house mothers to care for them. It will be the children's home until they turn 18 years of age. They prefer not to refer to it as an orphanage, but the children who will be residing there have no other family that can care for them. We are so pleased to have the opportunity to help make this a special place for these special children. I've included a few pictures below.
