Tragedy Strikes Again
It is with great sadness that I share the news that in the evening of June 28, Lia van de Donk, the beloved director of Kay Angel and surrogate mother to twelve orphans, passed away, suddenly and from unknown causes. Still in shock, her brothers Wieb and Pieter, our friend Gala and myself are en [...]
Ground Breaking Moment
Tue, May 21, 2013
The fence and gate were finally finished! Sacrifice is more or less animal proof. There are still the occasional baby goat or chicken that wonder on to the land but Solda tends to put everyone in their place immediately.
Ground breaking surprise
Tue, May 21, 2013
What do you get when you when you have a hand full of Texan firemen, a welder, a super dad, some magical Canadians, and a bunch of friends and family support?? I’ll tell you… You get to watch a dream become reality. April has been a true blessing to us here at Kay Angel and both the kids and I are beaming with the hope that life on our land is finally with in our reach.
Easter 2013
Thu, Apr 11, 2013
Easter was a hoot. I had spoken to Frantz to find out what Lia used to do for Easter and if she ever colored eggs with the kids. He said that last year they had spoken about it but had not yet played with egg coloring. When I was state side back in February my a friend of mine donated a box full of goodies for the kids, 1/2 of the box was filled with egg coloring kits. This was going to be so much fun.
Cleaning up Sacrifice
Wed, Apr 10, 2013
At the beginning of the year I decided to get a bit more aggressive about the care of our land. Lia had always dreamed of building a home for the kids on this land as well a business. For 3 years she tried to make her dream a reality but left us before she could see her dream become a reality. I started to make a habit out of taking the kids to the land to visit Lia every week and also to keep their connection with their land alive. They really need no help in that department, anytime we have a project they ask if we can go to Sacrifice (the name of our land) and hang out and visit with Lia.

Meet Woodley
Meet Woodley; his mother had passed away at birth from AIDS and that he had been in the temporary care of an organization run by Nuns. The nuns had been able to track down his aunt and placed him back in the care of his family. Unfortunately when taken to the hospital to get tested for HIV his test came out positive. His aunt took him to his first appointment at Hospital St Michael to enroll him in the CVD program they offer there. When she returned for his medication a few days later she left Woodley at the hospital, walked away and didn't come back. Woodley stayed alone in the hospital for 10 days before we were contacted.
