When we arrived at the Masizame Children's Shelter, I could feel the positive energy the moment I stepped through the gates. Rosalie, the founder and head of Masizame, was a shining light in the midst of this poverty stricken community. We sat and talked with various staff members and observed the way the center was run. The main thing that draws me to the Masizame Center is the love that permeates throughout the entire structure. They are not only providing solutions to the problems in their community, they are creating programs to prevent the problems from arising. Their focus is empowerment of the children, as well as adults in their community. They recognize the struggles that these people are dealing with on a daily basis and help to provide methods to overcome these struggles in a positive way. It is an incredible organization and I am so thankful that we found them. It is great to see people who truly dedicate themselves to bettering the lives of others.

I am very cautious about where Restore Humanity lends it support because of my previous experience. When I volunteered in 2005, I spent my days at a children’s shelter that had no love or support for the children and it was devastating. It was such a relief to find a shelter that truly cares for traumatized children in every way possible.

Kimberly and I went and helped in their Prevention Center that provides the free Montessori day care for the children of the township. They go everyday to pick up children all over the township and fill their days with love and much needed structure. I was a Montessori teacher before starting Restore Humanity and they are doing an excellent job at the Masizame Prevention Center of giving those under-privileged children some essential education. If you choose to donate to the Masizame Children's Shelter, the money will go directly to them to be used to provide food, clothing, shelter, education, trauma care, medical care, and love to many children in need.

Sincerely,

Sarah Fennel
Founder of Restore Humanity
