Where exactly do you live?

Can we send items as donations?
We can almost always use any donation of usable, like-new items, especially baby and children's items. However, the cost of shipping such donations to us is usually prohibitive. It often costs more to send the items to us than they are worth.
If you would like to send us a donation of items, please check with us first to make sure we will be able to use what you would like to donate. Then you can check with your post office or shipping company to see if the shipping costs are affordable to you.
The address where we can receive donations:
Lincoln and Jenny Smith
PO Box 132 Waterfall Mall
Rustenburg, South Africa
0323

What is the weather like?
The seasons in Rustenburg are generally divided as follows (although, we’ve seen different breakdowns):
Summer - Dec. through Feb. Average high: 86F, average low: 62F
Fall - March through May. Average high: 77F, average low: 52F
Winter - June through Aug. Average high: 71F, average low: 41F
Spring - Sept. through Nov. Average high: 83F, average low: 53F
Precipitation usually occurs in the summer. The days can get very hot in summertime. The temperatures during the day in the winter are very mild, but at night it can get into the mid to low 30's. Most homes (including our home) do not have any heat or insulation (or air conditioning), so it gets cold inside in the winter. Fall and Spring are a very pleasant time to be in Rustenburg, not too cold or too hot.

When we were in South Africa in 2006 and 2007 we were missionary associates with the Assemblies of God World Missions. Since 2010 we have been independent missionaries sent out from and supported by our home church, Red Rocks Church, in Golden, Colorado. We also work with WorldHope.us
