TRIBUTE TO A SPECIAL FRIEND AND MENTOR – ANN NAIDOO

Written by Tich & Joan Smith – LIV Founders.

Our beloved Annie left us on Sunday morning 5 November 2023. Her destination: heaven, where her mansion prepared by her Lord and Saviour Jesus awaited her.  She didn’t have to catch an Elon Musk rocket. A glorious golden chariot surrounded by angels escorted her straight through the pearly gates in a blink of an eye.

MARIA’S STORY – ITHUTHENG AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMME

In 2015 I left Limpopo and my family and moved to Gauteng in search of better opportunities. Moving to Gauteng was the biggest and bravest decision I have ever made. Coming to a new environment and home was challenging and I am so grateful that I found Ithuteng. Through Ithuteng, I was able to form new relationships and settle into a new world. I left my biological mother in Limpopo but God has been so good to me and I have been blessed with family figures who have had a huge impact in my life.

JANINE’S STORY – LIV LANSERIA PRESCHOOL

A big thank you, from the preschool – to praise the Lord for his faithfulness and love:
We had training for the community teachers in late August 2022 and did not have the money to feed the teachers, so we went out and looked for sponsors. About a month before the time, we did not get any feedback and every time we asked the potential sponsors if they could help, their answer was “We are not sure yet”.
