IZULU Orphan Project Christmas Party
by Chadd & Kate
Kate and Chadd Bain are one of two missionary couples that were appointed in 2007 by Horizon International to manage the Horizon AIDS orphan program. They have more than 700 children in here are that are benifitting from their ministry in one way or another. We still have about 150 Orphans on the Horizon sponsor ship list that we still need to find sponsors for.
"What a success! There are so many people to thank, so many of you pulled together and made our Orphan Christmas Party such an incredible day! It is so true when I say every year gets better and better. Our children and caregivers were spoiled beyond their wildest dreams! They really had the best day ever!
"I really want to thank Revlon and Frank at Unilever for the gifts for our caregivers. The ladies who work for us have told me that the gogos were so moved that they felt like God himself gave them the presents. What a great surprise that was for them. I would also like to personally say a huge thank-you to all the volunteers that joined us on the day. Because of them, we managed to pull of this huge, incredibly successful party with such organization and fun. I would also like to thank ECR Toy Story and iLembe Technologies for giving most of the children's gifts. This is really the highlight for our orphans - hmm, and the party packs! There are really so many people to thank, for the viennas, rolls, juices, party packs, packaging, the list goes on and on. But what I really want to say is that the real point was made to these children. They know that there are people who care and that they are loved! The grandmothers - 'gogos' - know that they are not alone in this fight against HIV/Aids and in raising up this abandoned generation. We all did an exceedingly excellent job and it could not have been better! I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart, who made this all possible."

Student Feedback
"Your program has opened my eyes. It made me see what is waiting for us out there. " . . . . "I am young and I have much to look forward for." . . ."Your love passion and hunger for people to know what AIDS do to people brought you here and I thank you for that. You taught me more that I did not know and it was an honor to be with you. We young people live for today and to and forget about tomorrow but I'm not one of those. I'm going to save myself and control myself so that, I may not regret my actions that I took in future. Thank you for sharing your information with us. It meant a lot to me."
