Love is an action thing more than a word thing,
that brings comfort or joy, or relief to anyone or anything."

Greetings Friends of Hope in South Africa!
Make Hope in South Africa (HISA) your Valentine this year! The love you can share surely brings comfort, joy, relief and hope to the children and families of Richmond, South Africa. Your gift from the heart will go a long way toward assisting our efforts to provide quality meals, education, awareness about HIV/AIDS and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome as well as support our efforts to eliminate poverty in Richmond.
This past year has been full of surprises for all of us and created many challenges as we navigated a global pandemic, but through it all we continued to offer children and family services at the Richmond Community Center and neighboring communities. We are only able to continue our work because of your continued belief in making Richmond a better place.

Again, we appreciate your investment in our work. We wish you and those you hold dear many blessings and gifts of the heart.
