‘N jaar in oorsig
Die eerste ding wat by my opgekom het toe ek gevra is om die afgelope boekjaar in oënskou te neem, is die feit dat Abraham Kriel Bambanani sy roeping kon uitleef om kinders en jongmense wat sorg nodig het te beskerm, te versorg en te ontwikkel. Dit is werklik ‘n voorreg om te kan dien, ten spyte van uitdagings en onsekerhede.
