The following projects have currently been identified by Neema Lalela and need your support:
- Neema Lalela Foster Home
Neema Lalela is currently sourcing funds to buy the first house next to the West Rand Lutheran Church to provide a home for a small family of children who have been affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
The house is ideally situated and gives easy access to the West Rand Joyland Nursery School where the children will obtain their pre-school education. The children will also be integrated into the children’s and youth ministry of the West Rand Lutheran Church. Three Pastors and a loving and caring congregation are there to assist the family. The West Rand Lutheran Church and Westrand Joyland Nursery School also have a transport service in place to provide for all transport needs of the family. Schools and shopping centres are in the nearby vicinity.
Please assist us in obtaining this house. The total cost with renovations will be in the region of R1.5 million (135 000 Euro/200 000 US Dollar). Any Donations are most welcome. - West Rand Joyland Nursery School
Neema Lalela supports children from disadvantaged backgrounds going to the West Rand Joyland Nursery School and Aftercare centre. West Rand Joyland is a school that has children from all social backgrounds and races in South Africa. We want every child to receive their pre-primary schooling in a healthy normal social environment.
The School or individual children can be supported. Please inquire about the school fees and other ways you can be involved in the school and support it. - Sports development programme
Neema Lalela is currently busy with a sports development programme. Part of this is an action cricket/soccer field where children and teenagers will be introduced to and trained in these sports.
Currently a few teenage boys from disadvantaged backgrounds are supported in the attendance of a soccer club in our neighbourhood. Our Youth Pastor Jürgen Lier in involved in the support and mentoring of these boys. - Teenager Camps
Neema Lalela supports Teenagers from disadvantaged backgrounds to allow them to attend teenage camps where they can be supported and encouraged in their spiritual and social development.
Teenagers are taken from the city in Johannesburg into the beautiful and unspoilt environment of the Natal South Coast. Together with other teenagers from all social background and different race groups, we learn to understand, accept and appreciate each other. These camps are Christian based camps under the leadership of the Youth Pastor of the West Rand Lutheran Church.
The next teenage camp will be in December 2008. We need a lot of support for teenagers. The camp fee for one Teenager for the camp will be R800.
