$1000 donation from Richard Duane and Gaby Hoffmann

Friday, December 1st, 2006

A huge thank you to Richard Duane and Gaby Hoffmann from New York who donated $1000 to the trust.

Richard recently told us that they had “successfully wired one thousand dollars to TCD Trust. We are happy to be able to make this donation at this time. Maybe you could use it for the renovation of Rosie’s kitchen, but we will trust your good use of it.”

The good news is that renovations at Rosie’s Soup Kitchen are already complete. The funds will be allocated to the trust’s newest project: a Respite Centre for HIV infected children.

I was very pleased to respond to Richard and Gaby with the following:

Dear Duane & Gaby – Bless you! Many thanks. We will let you know when the money arrives in our account and send you a receipt for your records.

I am happy to tell you that Rosie’s kitchen renovation is complete and we are almost finished with construction of a brand new Respite Care centre for HIV infected children. We are at present updating our website, so all news should be up soon. We will also be generating regular newsletters, so I will put you on the mailing list so that you can have an idea of how your donation is being used.

Happy Holidays :)

Below are some photos of the existing soup kitchen, which is housed in a wendy house and busting at the seams. We will post photos of the Rosie’s brand-new soup kitchens when building is complete.

Plans to rebuild Rosie’s soup kitchen in Khayelitsha have been approved and work is to begin in the New year when we are done at Baphumelele Educare centre (this is being funded by Schools 4 Schools donations).

We will post photos of the progress for Rosie’s Soup Kitchen in the near future.

We are proud to have these companies as Friends of the Trust
