Light and Love Home in Cape Town, South Africa

Photos for Humanity wish all of you a Happy New Year! We want to conclude the year by posting recent photos of some very adorable children at the Light and Love Home in Cape Town, South Africa. The After School Program was started 5 years ago for children ranging from 3 to 13 years old. Currently, there are more than 70 children attending the program, which provides a safe and educational environmental for children to spend their time outside of school. Otherwise, they would likely be wandering on the streets and exposing themselves to danger in the slum area. Kudos to all the volunteers, local teachers, and donors that have sustained this project to bless so many children. Creating smiles on these children’s faces is one of the most satisfying feeling that we have experienced.
