I know so many of you have been following our financial saga over the last months and so you will all know how many of our hopes were pinned on receiving our lotto funding and our outstanding government grants. Well I'm afraid we are once again sitting frustrated and upset.
We have been informed that our lotto application for 2009 has been declined. We waited 13months for an answer, went through all the hurdles to the very last one, did what we were told to to make ourselves "acceptable" and then were rejected. They have given us 90 days to appeal, which we will, but I don't know if they will even consider it now that the call for new applications has closed. All this while places like ours are closing down daily and they sit on R5.9 Billion rand of charity money not dispursed! It makes me so sick.
No regard given to our 18 years of experience, our track record and our daily work to maintain our integrity and quality for the sake of South Africa's babies.
Anyway, we will lodge an appeal and let you know.
The celebration part is that TOMORROW TLC and JOSHUA and REUEL turn 18 YEARS OLD!
Hip Hip Hooray! It is such an amazing thing to look back over 18years and know that we are still standing :-)
Thank you to every person who hasever given us of their time, talents,
resources and prayers.
Where would we be
We Love you all
Pippa
