As part of our Valentine’s Day festivities this year, the Grade 3 class of Christel House South Africa visited Erica's Place, a frail care facility in Silvertown (Athlone, Cape Town) to give back to their communities. Their gifts of love included handmade cards, warm hugs, happy song and sweet treats! This is the multiplier-effect of public donations in support of the Christel House mission. We reflect on the words of founder, Christel DeHaan: “To share. To care. To make a difference!”

You can make the new academic year possible for one of the 755 students enrolled for 2018, by donating R150 for a new pair of school shoes, R320 to feed a scholar for one month, or R500 towards curriculum based books.
