The next Many Hands Project is to build
a church in the community of Silindile
in the Mpumalanga Province of South Africa. This project is a collaboration
of Many Hands Foundation and the Southern Africa Methodist Volunteers
in Mission (SAMVIM). Teams of volunteers from the U.S. will work
together with local volunteers to build this church in July and
August of 2008.
The project for Silindile 2008 is not yet funded. Many Hands Foundation
is a volunteer organization and we depend upon donations to pay
for the building materials and th e
wages of a few local workers. All building materials and supplies
are purchased from local suppliers in South Africa. Work Team members
pay for their own transportation and living expenses. The housing
for our work team and the groceries we buy for meals also support
the local economy. All contributions are used to support the work
of Many Hands Foundation. Your donation makes a difference in the
lives of South African Christians.
Our Buy A Brick program gives you the opportunity to be involved
with us in this project in a very meaningful way. You can designate
that the brick(s) that you buy be made in honor or in memory of
a special people in your lives. This has been very popular on past
trips. Here is how it works:
- You fill out a brick donation
form along with your gift to Many Hands Foundation
- Many Hands Work Team volunteers will write the designated names
on your brick
- Your brick will be photographed at the work site by our volunteer
Work Team photographer
- You will receive a photo of your brick and a photo of the completed
church!

Family members place a brick in the wall of the Hartebeeskop church
in memory of Jane Brown ("Auntie Rose"), who helped build
a church in Tjakastad, South Africa as a work team member in 2002.
