The work you do is amazing. I am happy to hear the update, that the funding for building has been secured, and that the construction is happening now. Your story really got to me -- this line especially: “They come every day and talk to me, not as a patient, but as a person. As if I was a real person.” Thanks for sharing your story. Sheila, wow.

It paints a story that is still playing even as I read and type...every hour...every day, I also clicked on the Soweto Connection link http://www.sowetoconnection.org/ in the biography and it is very informative. I'm so glad to hear that Tshepisong will get it's building, but it is the day to day running that makes a tangible difference in peoples lives. Keep up the effort and I hope my small donation helps.

Actually since the time of the story, Soweto Conncetion has secured funding for that new day care centre to be built, with HIV testing and counselling The building is going on even as you read! The long-term plan is to run a small business from the premises, which would make the whole thing sustainable. That will need money too, but once it's up and running, then they won't need help any more, and will be secure into the future Thanks, Marla.
