The Lions have arrived at Khaya Lukukhanya!

Thank you to Derek and the guys in the UK for the generous gift of lots of British & Irish Lions T shirts for the children at KL. They are wearing them with pride! After being impounded in customs for a few days they arrived here safely and the kids think they are fantastic! I am sure they will be cheering South Africa on Saturday though........... Next big match 20th June; For more information about the tour and all the fixtures click here

Colin Blythe completes the Edinburgh Marathon for Thusananga HBCA

Well done to Colin for completing the Edinburgh Marathon in the sweltering heat in a very respectable time of 3 hours 30 minutes 57 seconds. He raised £1230 at last count for our projects and we would like to thank everyone who sponsored him and to Colin for thinking of our charity.

It is not too late to sponsor Colin by visiting his sponsorship page

Well done to Lydia Blythe and her friends from Winnersh Primary School

We would like to thank Lydia and her friends at Winnersh Primary School for their fabulous efforts fundraising for the children of Khaya Lokukhanya. It was so thoughtful of you all to want to raise money for children less fortunate than yourselves and we know you all had a lot of fun doing it!
