POSTCARD FROM AFRICA-- AUGUST 2025

Lasting Impact Through Training

 We are deeply grateful for mission teams who partner with us in South Africa. Their time at our Impact Centers may be short, but the impact lasts for years.

 Recently, students from Baylor University led Early Childhood Development training at our Cape Town Impact Center. Pre-school teachers from the Orchard Network learned about brain development, child milestones, nutrition, and creative play. The team also showed how to make toys from recycled materials, which is an affordable, creative solution for under-resourced schools.

 Roselline Sidanga, one of the teachers, shared:

 “On many occasions I didn’t know how to handle children’s tantrums, and often made things worse. Now I feel confident with new strategies. The Baylor team explained everything so clearly that we felt like their fellow students.”

 Because of this training, Roselline now serves in her church’s pre-school with a new found confidence and joy. Thank you for making stories like hers possible through your support.
