Sipho means “gift," and we believe he is a gift to us!  Sipho loves the color black, eating chocolate, and playing soccer.  At Intlantsi Christian School, his favorite subject is English. Sipho would like to one day become a Mechanical Engineer.  While Sipho attends Intlantsi and lives in Fort White during the school week, on the weekends, he returns to his village, Thafeni, where he lives with his grandparents. Fort White has the most modern amenities available in the area; however, 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.  God can provide Sipho a way to become the man he wants to be through Intlantsi Christian School.
