Mothers' Day
Where would we be without our amazing house mothers and aunties? This outing to KFC was just a small thank you for all the work they put into helping to raise the children at PV.
Artists in the Making
The home school children are experimenting with different art styles, including pointillism (think Seurat), impressionism (Monet) and even some surrealism (Dali). We have been impressed by their creativity!

STREEC Updates...and a Fancy Electric Car
So much has been happening on the STREEC side of things! Just in time too, because there are rumblings that eSwatini will soon start to experience load-shedding like SA. Also, the new training centre was finally completed! Here are some pics from the opening ceremony.
STREEC brought in the FIRST fully electric vehicle into eSwatini!

Fun on the Farm
We are thankful Aunty Gail was here during the summer to give more swimming lessons to the children! This is such a valuable skill for them to learn. But there has been a lot happening outside of school and sports too! Many more hikes to the hay-bales, mini-trips with the preschoolers, and rides in the Tail-G electric scooter from Pasture Valley. It's not hard to find little volunteers for those kinds of activities!

More Reasons to Celebrate
Big congratulations go to all the house mothers who completed their first aid training. We hope they will feel more confident in using their skills in the home! Also, Anele received a brand-new laptop! This will help with her studies and possibly work in the future. We are also very proud of Nokwanda, who has been excelling across many areas. Not only was she the only one who caught a fish during the fishing trip, but she also won a whole bucket of KFC for her dancing skills at a campaign in town!
Car Crash
Unfortunately, the Isuzu bakkie was in an accident recently after it skidded and rolled on a gravel road. Fortunately, no one was hurt and all the passengers got out safely! Praise God for that!
Visitors
We are so blessed at Pasture Valley with all the wonderful people who come through! It was lovely having Mike, Gail and Dr Marty again, and even Cara and Jaryd came for a short visit!
