There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.
Never miss a chance to make a difference.
WOODLANE VILLAGE FIRE
Woodlane Village lost 89 shacks in a fire on 18 July and 534 people were affected. Three people died.

Unfortunately, another fire occurred on 31 July…

ARTLIFT
The ArtLIFT Project started in April 2019. The aim of the project is to teach the residents of Woodlane Village skills to make articles and crafts. These items are sold and all the proceeds go towards the maker which in turn supports their families. The classes take place every Monday from 9:00 to 11:00.
