It is very disappointing news about this new variant and the associated travel restrictions. The travel restrictions are throwing into chaos our recovery plans for the volunteer program which was just starting to look a lot more encouraging for next year. Out in the communities here the rate of COVID infection is extremely low – only 37 active cases in Eswatini at the moment. We remain hopeful that there will be good news about this strain being a mild variant, but we will keep watching the developments and act as best we can given the information that emerges.

Thank you so much for sending the NCP funds and for your continued support. We are so grateful to you. At times it feels like we have a daunting task ahead of us, but with your support we can achieve a lot for those who are at our NCPs.

Siyabonga kakhulu!

All the best

Kim
