For most people Christmas time is about being with family, friends and sharing gifts. But especially the latter is no matter of course for many children here in our community. Many parents would love to delight their children during this special time, but don’t have the financial means to do so. With this post we are glad for an opportunity to send you some updates again and share a little joy. As always we must begin by thanking you and recognizing that without your support we would not do much.
Every year at Ammish Community Development , it is the children’s looks of joy and excitement that pushes us to organise another unforgettable Christmas party. It is the three bedroomed house that became a refuge, an Organisation called Ammish Community Development from 2016 to date. The home bears the name: “The Lord sees me and He is my provider”.
When we give we want to give in a dignified manner with memories to be captured by our beneficiaries. For most of them is their first time receiving gifts, because every year our numbers increase. That’s why for us it feels like a huge responsibility to start organising and asking for donations in a form of funds or other items needed to fill their shoeboxes. This year we were able to endow our kids with toys, toiletries, sweets, stationeries. The oldest got diaries, manicure sets, nail polish, musks and our youngest from grade R to 4 received bunny ears.
Our sponsors from Germany (Andreas and Friends) and Mr Sithole (local Engen garage) have expressed how giving have changed them:
When Orphans/ Disadvantaged feel left out, that kills their confidence, for me it is about being there for them.

Andreas and his circle of friends have started sponsoring for the campaign 3years ago.
For 2021 your generosity has reached 270 children at Ammish.
Thank you so much!
