“PLEASE HELP
OUT!”
These are photos
that were taken of my visit Bhekulwandle, a Zulu township near Durban, on the
east coast of South Africa 2008. Inside this modest home lays this littler boy’s
Dad and the Husband to his Mother who is holding his little sister. Since then,
Dad has died and Mom who also contracted AIDS has past also. Leaving this
little boy, who was so proud to wear my Canada flag pin, to now be Mother and
Dad to both him and his baby sister.
Both of us have
dreams, I told him about my puppies at home he introduced me guardedly to his
friend and puppy. This little boys Dad lies weak and alone in his bed. He’s
given up and refuses to eat or drink as he knows his fate and as far as he is
concerned the food would just be a waist on him, and then there would be more
for his Wife and children.
Volunteering
that year for short moment with the Seed of Hope, I found one of the things this
organization does is about getting people into better homes. You can see that
these mud shacks only need but a hard rain to wash totally away and they do. It
also assists the people who are suffering alone that need support,
encouragement, and HOPE. In many cases, people will choose not to get help
because often the embarrassment of their situation is worse than the suffering
that they are experiencing (sometimes the suffering can be intense). We're so
thankful to have two amazing community workers like Dan & Kerry Wiens who
feel called to daily go out into the community and visit those who are alone
and afraid. AIDS Care = /http://theseedofhope.org/projects/aids-care
Your support
will enable residents of this township and surrounding community to receive
medical attention, join an AIDS support group, send their children to
after-school and spiritual activities learn a vocational skill. By sharing your
resources, you have in fact shared HOPE, and the powerful effect of that HOPE
is seen daily by the men and women who serve at the Seed of Hope. http://theseedofhope.org/
Dan & Kerry Wiens
have been serving since 2009 and have a real heart for South Africa, Especially
in seeing impoverished communities transformed by God's grace. They serve with
Seed of Hope, a faith-based community development organization in Bhekulwandle,
a Zulu township near Durban, on the east coast of South Africa.

P.S. I have
lived a better life than most on this planet. I am blessed really and if I
could trade my life to better this little boy’s, GOD knows that I would do it
in a flash!
With LOVE to you
all and with all that heaven will allow.
“PLEASE HELP OUT!”
Sincerely,
Sir Richard…
