At St Matthew's High School in Soweto, the playing fields have at last been levelled and laid with lawn. This has been done with the assistance of All Saints Catholic School in Huddersfied, UK, who made it a school project to raise funds to assist St Matthews. Their efforts paid half the quoted cost.

from the Auxiliary Bishop of Johannesburg, Bishop Z P Mvemve's 'thank you' letter to a donor: "There is jubilation in our Diocesan schools these days as they have benefited from your support.
We are pleased to report that it has been confirmed that five schools, and not three as mentioned in the January Newsletter, will be getting the increased subsidy this year.
Your support, therefore, has not only brought benefits through the improvements we have made, but also a dividend in that the increased subsidy will greatly help towards the escalating running costs."
