It is indeed an honour, privilege and very humbling experience to have been elected as the new Archbishop of Cape Town, and to serve as HOPE Africa’s new patron.
My predecessor Archbishop Ndungane has spoken highly of friends like you – of your generosity, compassion and caring spirit towards children and adults who struggle through life every day.
My vision is to see a world free of inequality, injustice and poverty – where our old, young and poorest brothers and sisters can live with dignity, hope and health.
It is indeed heartwarming to know that we have supporters like you, who reach out to give a ‘hand up’ to strangers living in desperate circumstances.
Because your gifts have a ripple effect, like a pebble thrown into a pond: feeding the hungry, caring for the old and sick, teaching mothers how to grow their own vegetables and the skills to earn a living, giving children the brightest start in life, and making life a little easier for those who often see no light at the end of the tunnel.
So today, please, can I ask you to renew your support – by sending your gift of hope and healing today?
Together we can bring dignity to people living in grinding poverty.
God bless you for caring
+ Archbishop Thabo Makgoba
Archbishop of Cape Town
