As most are aware 2020 was a difficult / emotional year for the fund and our Golden Oldies in Zimbabwe who’s tenacity is once again being tested to the max, but we are still here and on we shall go no matter what. For those who have been supporting us for a long time you have seen the regular trip reports, read all about the challenges, trials and loses we have had. This is not an easy undertaking by any means. But with everyone’s support out there and your continued prayers we are managing to keep doing what we do even in these unprecedented times. The struggle and heartache is real and I am not sure that there is anyone left who’s life has not been affected by this pandemic in some way.
The office opened on Monday the 11th and the first while has been spent catching up on everything missed during our shutdown. Hannes and Johan are currently preparing for the first trip of 2021 which is currently being planned to happen the end of January / early February and it looks like we are going to possibly be doing a double box delivery again with all this uncertainty, so its full steam ahead. We have managed to source O2 Concentration machines to distribute to the Frail Care wards and some of the homes. Unfortunately they are incredibly expensive and hard to come by at this stage. They draw the oxygen out of the air and condense it to help people who need an Oxygen boost. It does not require bought oxygen which is scarcer than Chickens teeth in Zimbabwe and if found is crazily priced. Unfortunately we have received word that Covid-19 has got into some of the homes and we are aware that one home has already lost at least 3 Golden Oldies.
So once again we manage to start a New Year with lots of challenges ahead. This will once again make my job as fund raiser for the Fund a lot more challenging this year. But I am looking forward to it and know and have faith all our supporters of our Golden Oldies will help me meet this challenge. We will still however be packing the boxes in Bulawayo as this just makes the border crossings easier. We are aware of the current shortages and all the help and aid needed and are doing the best we can with what we have. Unfortunately, we can also not put our drivers lives in danger. It breaks our hearts to have to tell people we just cant assist at this stage.
These food hampers serve 2 purposes.
1 They supply much needed food to the pensioner.
2 The pensioner then knows that someone cares about them

DOING WHAT WE SAY WE DO.

The 3 most important pillars of our cause:
UNIQUENESS – being one of a kind and knowing that the ZPSF is driven by good will and very passionate members.
TRANSPARENCY – enforcing the rule that all members must be fully informed before taking part in this noble venture.
ACCOUNTABILITY – Having a traceable paper trail for every cent handled, and regular revues conducted.
“Self-satisfaction makes life worth living. We live in a world that encompasses a major share of the poor and downtrodden. Each person may have a different need in his/her life. While some yearn for success, some don’t have the most basic amenities such as a shelter or enough food to eat. But that’s not all, some people may be in need of mere affection, those who are longing to see smiles. We are lucky to be living a comfortable life. How good it will be if we try to bring smiles to those sad faces? Generosity is an easily doable exercise. We all must remember one thing that helping others is a blessing in disguise. Because when we help others to grow, we grow in the process too. It adds value and meaning to our lives.”
