adopted a darling son, Khotso, from a
fabulous children's home called Beau/ful
Gate. On this most recent trip, the crew
from Swazi Kids, made the very long trek
from Swaziland over to Lesotho for 4
days to check out Beau/ful Gate and its
opera/ons. This development is only
men/oned here, in the event that you
might be invited to join in a shared fund-­‐

from Ghana and has come, with his wife
raising event. It does not mean that
your funds will be transferred over to
Lesotho, nor will you be approached by
someone new, but it does mean we are
spreading our wings out over more of
Southern Africa to help out other chil-­dren.
Who knows where this partner-­ship
could lead?
5. Introducing Mr. Joseph Aryee, With
the support of Swazi Kids’ board, it has
been decided that we are now ready and
in need of ground support in Swaziland.
Pam has come to know Mr Aryee over
the past 18 months. They have come to
trust and admire each other in their re-­spec/ve
work. Mr Aryee is originally
and 3 young boys, to work as a pastor
and teacher in Swaziland. Pam feels very
strongly that he is just what she has
been looking for as a “go-­‐to-­‐ground-­‐guy”
at bat for Swazi Kids from within the
country. He is highly educated, speaks
impeccable English, works from a place
of honesty and integrity and has a big
heart for the plight of these young peo-­ple
and children in Swaziland. He has
already accepted and is already invalu-­able!

Community Profiles. This is the
first of what we hope will be a series
of profiles of people in the Swazi
Kids community. One of the effects,
and perhaps one of the attractions,
of being part of an organization
like Swazi Kids, is that we
form a sense of community that
crosses cultural and political borders.
If you know of someone who
we should profile send us a note at:
