Activist, social commentator and writer Rejoice Ngwenya took some time in December to spread the holiday spirit with the children of Rekai Tangwena (Nyanga) and Manhinga Village (Rusape) orphanages. Thanks to donations of treats, toys, clothes and groceries and support from Kubatana, MMPZ, and a number of individuals, Rejoice was able to share some Christmas joy with these children.

A big pom pom to Rejoice for taking time to help these children.  For 2011, Rejoice is planning a cross-country project called “They Will Know It’s Christmas,” designed specifically for these children.

Below are some photographs from his trip.

Plant a tree in a pot hole.

1) It makes pot holes easier to spot
2) It improves the environment
3) You might finally get the city council’s attention
