Two
Sisters orphanage was created by Patrick
Chamusso.
The charity,
based in north east South Africa, supports orphans of the AIDS
epidemic that is destroying much of the African continent. Two
Sisters started almost by accident.
Patrick, a political prisoner of
the apartheid regime, was released from Robben Island in 1991. In
prison he dreamed of his release and of looking after the
community and meeting the needs of his people.
He settled in Mganduzweni, a
beautiful but poor area, in the hills outside White River -
nestling at the foot of Legogote Mountain. A neighbour in the
village died and left two daughters. In 1999 Patrick and his wife
fostered the two sisters. With the increase of the AIDS
pandemic in South Africa and the increasing number of orphans this
number gradually grew... Today Patrick has approximately 300
children in his care.
He has donated his original home
to Two Sisters for a drop-in care centre.

The orphans are lodged with foster parents. Two Sisters provides the main meal of the day as well as all medical care, school uniforms and fees and sees to it that the children are well cared for in the foster homes. In return for this, the foster parents help with the daily chores of preparing the main meal, watching over the children at play and keeping the Two Sisters premises clean.
Two Sisters receives no funding from the state but relies on donations from various sources.
We have helped buy sewing machines so that Two Sisters can make bedding for sale in the local communities and markets to help with being self sustaining and training the house mothers to sew, a skill Patrick learned whilst on Robben Island. Recently their cooking utensils and food was stolen. So we have funded razor wire for better security and replaced their cooking ware and food. Plus we have bought them new water tanks amongst other everyday needs. Your support will help sustain them and give them hope and opportunity with education for a brighter future.
After 22 years of wonderful help, support and nurturing due to ill health Patrick has decided to close Two Sisters Orphanage as we approach Christmas 2021 as due to lack of funds and the Covid situation coupled with a deteriorating economic outlook he just cannot continue. WE have now partnered with Children IN Distress run by Manna Church Fellowship in the Mpumalanga area off White River District to contact and maintain all the children we can from Two Sisters Orphanage through the Children in Distress outreach center in Mganduzweni where Two Sisters is located. Project Manager Lauren and her husband Frank have already been helping the children over the last year and more so in addition to thousands of other disadvantaged children and vulnerable adults in the Greater White River district they do a superb job with scant resources only topped up ny fundraising and donations from slefless individuals in the church and by peole like DReamcatcher Children who have occasional fundraising drives to help them bring succour to the less fortunate in our world. Not just with food but with help for education and much more through their family care centers https://www.childrenindistress.co.za/about-us/
On December 9,
1998 the Ananda Myitta Orphanage Center (The Orphanage
of
Grace and Love) was completed
and it opened in April, 1999. The orphanage can
house up to 30 children, but
there were 12, 6 males and 6 females when the
orphanage first opened. At
present there are 9 boys and 2 girls
The entire land
for the orphanage is 200 pyong, the main
building is made of two floors
with the first floor having a floorage of 60
pyong and the second floor 13
pyong, and the living room is 20 pyong.
A pyong is about 3.3 square metres or 36 square feet.
These children have very little but thanks to the efforts of the Elders and the house mother and house father their basic needs are met, but as the orphanage relies totally on donations to continue this is where Dreamcatcher and yourselves can help.

Maya School India
was established in 2005 by Eeva Maya Schult who was visiting India
and saw the extreme poverty among the labourers, farmers and their
children in the Indian countryside. She decided to leave her job in
Hamburg, Germany and move to India and start a school in Orchaa, a
rural town 230 km south of city of Agra.
Now her school provides basic
education, school uniforms and food for some 80 children. She
achieved her goal of building a new school in 2011 to help as many
children as possible. Her funding is mostly based on private
donations which are managed by a registered society in
India.
She is also running a smallhotel
and a restaurant in Agra for tourists who visit the Taj
Mahal. Eeva Maya's school
project has been featured in the Finnish magazine, Suomen
Kuvalehti, and on Finland's national TV broadcaster YLE, who made a
documentary about the school in 2009.
Please
support this grassroots project to help to create an opportunity
for people who might otherwise never have one. The only way for
sustainable development and prosperity is education. There is not a
single country in this world that is poor with a high education
level. Only with knowledge can people have skills to produce goods
that have exchangeable value.
This requires resources
that these people do not have and this is where you
and Dreamcatcher can help Eeva Maya in her project. WE
CURRENTLY DO NOT SUPPORT MAYA SCHOOL AS THIS PROJECT IS CURRENTLY
ON HOLD DUE TO LOCAL PROBLEMS AND THE SCHOOL CHILDREN HAVE BEEN
TRANSFERRED TO OTHER SCHOOLS IN THE REGION BUT IF IT HAD NOT BEEN
FOR THE VISION OF EEVA THESE CHILDREN WOULD HAVE CONTINUED WORKING
ON THE LAND AND HAD NO FORMAL EDUCATION NOW THEY HAVE A GREAT
OPPORTUNITY IN LIFE TO DEVELOP THEIR FUTURE .
