    Shafiq thank you so much for sharing your experience. I have been in shelters for 2 years. It has been a journey of hell. Your shelter has a lovely feel to it.

    I don't understand how do we as a community expect people to pay when they have nothing in there bank accounts. The term is homeless shelter should be a government funded project.
    Your shelter is very well kept and you guys are doing a good job, keep it up, just hoping you guys get more help to expand.

    MY ONE BIG QUESTION...
    what happens to the person who doesnt have that R20, who hasnt got a JOB but who desperately wants to make a change?
    Do They just get turned away???
    Are they told that
    Must they beg on the street to get that R20 for that night and thus start a pattern of beggibg every day just to be housed at night?
    I would really like that question to be answered.

      Maybe they will give them a break or they will have to recycle, beg or do whatever they can to get it. One US dollar is about 17 rands, so donations would be helpful. I'm already helping out in Johannesburg but who knows I may be able to add them to my long list. Have a blessed day.
