SEIPATI SEFONJANE

October 6, 2003 - May 5, 2010

We celebrate Seipati’s life.  Celebration decides what you remember. Celebration reveals what you treasure. A little girl twirls around and around, smiling with giddiness and joy.  This is how we remember, precious little Seipati, who spent too few days with us on this earth. 

Seipati entered this world on October 6, 2003.  Acres of Love was blessed to be able to care for and love her, showing her the affection of an embracing family and allowing her the freedom of her childhood. 

We treasure her time with us. We treasure her constant joy and her enthusiasm for life, regardless of her health challenges. We celebrate the joy she brought to us. We celebrate her faith and her hope and her courage.

SAMSUNG DOES IT AGAIN WITH THE 2009 annual CHARITY GOLF DAY 

Silver Ring Thing

The Silver Ring Thing (SRT) Presentation was a fun, exciting and interesting day for the children.  A message of sexual abstinence and purity was presented to our children emphasising the importance of being Godly women/men.  The focus was on the emotional, mental, and relational results of engaging in pre-marital sex and making unwise decisions in all aspects of life that could result in trouble.  The children were taught how to make correct choices in order to avoid in engaging in activities that they would regret.  There were several comedy skits that explored the ways tweens and teens relate to each other. Although the kids found the show entertaining and they laughed a lot they certainly seemed to understand the message that was being portrayed.  All of the 57 Acres of Love children that attended have chosen to become members of the SRT and pledge abstinence.  The children will be receiving a ring and a teenage-friendly Bible.  The ring is worn as a symbol and constant reminder of the pledge for abstinence a person makes and to follow Gods ways in their daily lives.  The ring has an inscription on it that refers to Thessalonians chapter 4 verses 3-4:  "God wants you to be holy, so you should keep clear of all sexual sin. Then each of you will control your body and live in holiness and honour".

Let’s pray that the SRT has given them some guidance in making the right choices.  With God’s love and guidance and the entire Acres of Love team’s continuous commitment and involvement in these children’s lives – let’s pray adolescence does not have to be such tricky time for our children.

The Herbalife Foundation

June 2009

Acres of Love strives to ensure that each child gets the care they need to develop soundly and to ensure that both their short-term and long-term needs will be met with the highest possible quality of health and nutrition they need to develop to their fullest potential.  Casa Herbalife desires to enhance the capabilities and infrastructure of a permanent community organization such as the Acres of Love Forever Homes.   Acres of Love is committed to giving the children every chance and opportunity to succeed.  Healthy nutrition is vital, helping to build and support the immune system and giving infected children a fighting chance.  A healthy, nutritious diet is critical to the impact that our children can make as adults in positions of leadership in South Africa.  The Herbalife foundation has once again shown their commitment by actively partnering with Acres of Love to advance the nutritional health of the vulnerable children that are in our care.  Thank you, Herbalife!
