Turning a house into a home...South Africa

God’s timing is perfect...Rarely early but never late. 

It's been almost a year since The Cove got involved with funding and helping build a cinder block home for the Nkambule family. This past Friday was move in day for the child headed household. If you recall the mother passed away and the father ran out on the children. That being said the head of the house is now 14 year-old Phindile. She cares for her three siblings, Fana (11 years old), Sunnyboy (7 years old) and Sipho (3 years old). They went from living in a single room shack to a multi room home.

Ena, the on-site “project manager” for the house sent us these pictures and details of the day.

“Friday was a great day when we all sat outside, and looked, it was finally finished. We all worked neighbors, children, carpenter, it looks beautiful, I don't know if the children really realized that they were out of their one room house, into such a spacious home.”

“I always get teary when we finished because it is such a privilege to fulfill God’s command to care for the poor and orphans. It fulfills two commands at once.”
