Ntando loves to eat everything!  He is a growing boy who also loves to play soccer.  Ntando’s favorite subject, English, should help him in becoming a technician, his dream job.  When Ntando is not at Intlantsi Christian School at Fort White, he is at home with his parents in the village of Gugulethu. While Fort White has the most modern amenities available in the area, the surrounding villages are quite different.  In the villages, people collect water from a communal tap and use outhouses.  Though they have access to electricity, most villagers cannot afford to pay for an electric meter. Most of our children have grown up attending no-fee schools, where they are provided what may be their only meal for the day.  Ntando means “God’s will.”  We believe it is God’s will that Ntando grow in the wisdom and knowledge of Him.
