I've been working for Ligstad since March 2013. My role is to transport the Ligstad kids safely and keep them safe. I help to serve the Alberton Community by letting them feel part of something bigger. My biggest dream for Ligstad, is that the organisation will grow to be one of the biggest NPC organisations in the east of Johannesburg. We have to strive to serve more and more kids in need.

I've been serving at Ligstad since October 2015. By being in the service of God, we are also in the service of people. I believe that we all have influence. I choose to use mine to improve the lives of those I serve at Ligstad. I dream of a Ligstad where we are surrounded by people whom are aware of their own special gifts…great gifts that they are willing to share freely. Hebrews 13:16 "And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased".
I joined the Ligstad team in June 2017. My biggest task is to be of service to God. I love working with the seniors and children and sharing my musical abilities I received as a blessing from God. Uplifting the community is important to me. I dream for Ligstad to truly be a beacon of hope, security and love to the needy in the community. I see my work as a ministry reaching out to the community physically and spiritually.

As a founding member of Ligstad I was one of the dreamers envisioning and witnessing the establishment of Ligstad in 2012. My role as social worker is to focus on community development. I am also responsible for the organisational administration of Ligstad. Partnerships are an important part of Ligstad's existence and I am thus always alert to establish and develop new partnerships and maintaining existing partnerships. The most important task is is to act in obedience to God's guidance and to follow Him I dream of a well-established community centre where every member of the community can become part of in order to reach their potential. The vision and mission of Ligstad is what I strive towards daily.
I am involved with the Ligstad Art Centre section since 2016/17. I am involved to sow my talents back into the Kingdom of God. I am involved at Ligstad teaching music at the playgroup. I want to promote the wonder of music. I also teach recorder lessons to a group of aftercare children at Ligstad once a week. I aim to bring a quality service to these children free of charge. This valuable skill of music is priceless. I view Ligstad to be in the centre of God's plan for Alberton. God's Word need to be shared in the community in order for Ligstad's light to shine in the dark places only God can reach.
I've been at Ligstad since April 2016. The biggest mission at Ligstad is to take care of the kids we serve. I wish for them to be as happy as they can possibly be. I dream of success for Ligstad. I believe if we dream big, the results will be just as big.
