In the small scattered
communities on the mountain foothills near Bergville, tribal traditions are strong - and
poverty continues to ensnare generation after generation.
Grandparents have no schooling - nor have
many parents. But the children love going to school. Most walk many
miles each day to attend classes - usually without shoes or
proper school clothes ... and hungry.
Father Jean's Inkanyezi (which means 'star' in Zulu) project - named for the star that led the Three Wise Men to the
the Christ Child - helps schoolchildren
with promise follow their star to a brighter future
through education.
And your contribution helps that star shine brightly.
It provides food - because hungry children can't learn - school fees and uniforms. And
most importantly, it helps to sponsor talented
young people through college or university.
People in Father Jean's parish still can't believe
that one of their own has already achieved a
Bachelor of Commerce degree, and is
successfully working in the
distant 'big world'. Plus, five others are well on
the way to becoming qualified in science,
management, marketing and journalism.
And what of these young people who have
grasped the Inkanyezi star?
The great blessing is
that they give back!
They take part in Father
Jean's workshops for the mission children. By telling their stories, and
sharing their experiences in further education and life-skills,
they inspire, motivate and mentor others to also follow their own star.
So your investment in Inkanyezi works doubly hard! Please support Father Jean now by making
your gift online today.
