Living out a life-long dream in South Africa


--by Sharedtruths, posted Jul 13, 2015


My heart is so full of love and fulfillment, I have been so blessed to be able to live out a life long dream recently. I am so grateful for the support and friendship of a very dear friend of mine, who has helped me with making a kind acts project possible.

We live in Johannesburg South Africa, where as you all know poverty and unemployment are huge issues. I have for many years had a dream to open a soup kitchen. To be able to help and feed the hungry.

We have created a Facebook page called Shadows, where we have started sharing our kind acts activities with our friends. We are handing out blankets and I am making hearty soup, which we have started handing out to the homeless. There are so many people living on the streets, it is heartbreaking.

I have now created a blanket drive and hope to collect many which we will be handing out on the 18th July for Nelson Mandela's day. God's Grace and love has made this all possible. The act of love by giving has touched my heart to a point I have been so emotional. I love the journey I am on, my life is so beautiful. I just know this project is going to unfold and touch so many peoples lives.

But remember it is not to be taken for granted to live where you live being white: your ancesters moved to there where they weren't welcomed to stay. They turned around their world, organised it their way, not any africans way, so i believe it is any white peoples task in africa to turn history upside down out of humanity. You are doing great with your project! Keep on doing humain things.

Also i love what you said about how doing these kind things for others has healed your own "inner child. " that's how it works, doesn't it. Sending you bundles of love and blessings!
