When I first arrived in Cape Town, I met the Chief Executive Office of Learn to Earn Roche Van Wyck . So impressed was I with his compassion and vision for the poor in South Africa that I later wrote an article about him. Learn to Earn is known throughout South Africa and the world as a model of Christian economic empowerment that gives opportunities to thousands of people in the massive township of Khayaleitsha and now beyond. Their motto is " a hand up not a hand out" and among the many skills they offer are sewing which we also do. More than that Learn to Earn is supported in South Africa by businesses that use the talents of their students and workers. How pleased I am that Learn to Earn reached out to us and included our women in one of their latest projects. It has taken quite a while to lay a foundation for these kinds of opportunities but all the work and wait is worth and now we have begun to see the fruit from the learning skills we planted. Here you see the three women, Sylvia, Rachel and Mandisa who went with me to the training and then our work team at Evangeline's Sewing Class. The first batch of work is in and provided it is done excellently, there is much more of it to come for the ladies. And we are so thankful.
A fabulous partnership
