This past week we got to welcome this beautiful boy to the Her Voice family!
.
Our lay doula has been checking on them regularly and baby and mama are recovering so well.
.
We are proud of you @veroniquepietersen! We love you so much.
.
Aiden, you are fearfully and wonderfully made and delighted in. Welcome to the world!

This past Wednesday we joined @allpeoplesstellenbo

This past Wednesday we joined @allpeoplesstellenbosch for our last soup kitchen.
.
We are so moved by the community built on these Wednesday’s within our volunteers, which consisted of HV members, APC members and friends from other churches and parts of life.
.
A thank you to to @amazinklive for always being a home for us and to @stellenboschunite for providing the soup every week.
.
We know there is need beyond bread and a bowl of soup once a week, and we were honoured to be able to pray for each recipient, but we want to encourage you to look at what is in your hands and ask how YOU can best use it to make a difference. TODAY. Collectively, we can affect so much change.
.
One last shoutout to @suritalinde for organizing everything and facilitating a welcoming space for all. We trust it made heart changes as much as anything.
.
We continue to pray for the families in the Kayamandi community and are hopeful now that schools are now feeding their children.
.
We are still committed to supporting our mamas with biweekly grocery vouchers during lockdown - outside of our normal program - and we are excited to see what else is in store for us as we continue to brave this #covid19 storm in unity.

Yesterday our girl @portia_mhlakaza060 was a model

Yesterday our girl @portia_mhlakaza060 was a model for @mamamacsbakery products.
.
We love being able be a bridge to these opportunities! And they truly never disappoint.
.
So if you follow @mamamacsbakery on social and see some beautiful hands or a glowing face, it just might be this pretty mama. 🍪

It is a MASSIVE privilege to celebrate this amazin

It is a MASSIVE privilege to celebrate this amazing mama today!
.
She is selfless and brave, thoughtful and generous, and as kind as they come.
.
Any pretty graphic or design you see with our name on it is most likely the work of her hands. As the queen of organization and spreadsheets, there is NO way we would be able to get the right sizes of 105 winter clothing parcels to the right children the first time.
.
So much of the backbone of Her Voice is @elke_dunaiski and this steadfastness remains true in the way she mothers and does life with people.
.
Elke, you are so loved and appreciated! Praying for new joy and adventure in this next year of life!
.
Happy birthday!

Our last post was about the amazing things our mam

Our last post was about the amazing things our mamas did on Mandela Day. They really made an impact!
.
That day, however, held irony for us. Because as we honoured a man who dedicated his life to the liberation of black people, one of our mamas spent the entire day sitting in the government hospital with her baby boy, who’s leg had been badly burned by boiling water he’d curiously pulled down on himself, only to be told to ”go to the clinic Monday for them to dress the wound”.
.
Fortunately, she had support with her and they were able to leave with some ointment and a bandage after all.
.
But this situation speaks to so many things, specifically inequality in housing and health care and, of course, the effects of poverty as a whole.
.
What we ask is that while we celebrate the victories of the past, we resist the temptation to comfortably ride on the coattails of those freedom fighters. That we see where there is still need for US to fight and push through the normalcy of life as we know it and not allow our brothers and sisters to be forced to settle for less than second best.
.
This mama has spent her lockdown caring for her son and completing her matric from home without so many of the resources needed to properly study remotely.
.
The least we can do is give her access to efficient, quality healthcare for her baby in the event if an emergency.
.
As challenging as this may be, we are called to be better all the time: as individuals, as families, as neighbors, and a community at large.
.
If this strange year has shown us anything, it's that we need to slow down, have compassion, be more aware of the world around us.
.
Please don't move forward into a new year unchanged.
