Today the whole village at Siyaphambili AIDS Orphanage celebrated Human Rights Day with presentations, song and dance, work groups, discussion groups, awareness sessions that included members of Langa’s churches, government agencies, media, representatives from the Swedish NGO SOFIA, and the neighborhood as well as all the outreach groups that Siyaphambili serves – the teen mothers, the child headed households, the grannies [Oumas] raising grandchildren, afterschool and creche children.

It was a great success and all had a wonderful lunch prepared in the cramped kitchen – a small miracle in itself!
