Unwrapping Stunning Gifts That Literally Change Lives!!!

This is one of our happiest ever Cadeaux at the Chateau videos, as we reveal the winner of the Lalande Scholarship at the Villioti Fashion Institute in South Africa, Mmakhotso Moloi. This has only been possible because of all of you who watch these videos, so a huge thank you to all of you. Of course we also opened stunning gifts, in fact we had such fun that we filmed too much and I've had to split this video into 2 parts. The next part will be out next week!
To see some of the Chateau de LaLande Scholarship Interviews on the @Villioti Fashion Institute channel, click here:

We will be donating a weekend stay at the Chateau de Lalande to the winner!
In 'Cadeaux at the Chateau', all of the inhabitants of the Chateau de Lalande gather together to open beautiful gifts that people have sent from all over the world. All of the monetisation from these videos will be donated to a different charity each month. KZbin earnings fluctuate wildly each month, as ad revenue changes throughout the year. Here are the charities that we've donated to so far:
July 2020:
British Heart Foundation UK (in memory of my father) €634
August 2020:
Alzheimer's Research UK (in memory of all of the residents of my parents' nursing homes) €350
September 2020:
Prostate Cancer Foundation (in memory of Selmar's father) €1255
October 2020:
Medecins sans Frontieres (chosen by my mother to support vaccinations in Africa) €942 (equivalent to 426 cholera vaccinations)
November & December 2020 & Jan 2021:
A Lalande Fashion Scholarship for a student at the Villioti Fashion Institute in South Africa €5500
I used to show the gifts as part of 'The Chateau Diaries' episodes, but you're all so very generous that we have many gifts, and if we spent the episodes opening them, we wouldn't be able to show you other aspects of chateau life! So, for those of you who enjoy watching presents being opened, and as a way to thank those of you who were kind enough to send them, I've made this new channel. Every week we will film your beautiful gifts whilst enjoying afternoon tea or aperitif together.
It is very important to me that you know that we in no way expect anyone to send us gifts. I would like to go further than that and add that, if doing so will put you in any financial difficulty whatsoever, please, please do not send us anything. Knowing that you join us by watching 'The Chateau Diaries' gives us all an enormous boost. But for those of you who have sent these incredibly thoughtful gifts, I hope that seeing us open them gives you a fraction of the joy that you've given us, and that by monetising this channel for charity we can pass on that joy to others 💖💖💖
If you would like to see more of our life at the chateau, please go to our main 'Chateau Diaries' channel:

One good thing about this is that contributing to official charities the effect is diluted, whereas by passing on the benefit directly to an individual in this way can have so much more impact.

[@fytictam5893]

It didn't hit me right away, but when you told her the good news i was so ridiculously happy and then i realised "wait, i am a small part of that!" My tiny implication just became very real and i can't thank you enough for creating such a win/win... win and win again situation. 😁 i hope you realise the amount of positivity and good vibes all of this is giving us.

The scholarship award was so touching. I’m sure she will do her very best with this opportunity. Such a very sweet girl. Sending my best wishes for her and her family. Stephanie you are an amazing woman, and I’m so happy to have found you on KZbin. You have given me much joy as I followed your adventures and also those of your friends who have started their own channels. It gives me a much needed break from my own reality. I’m 24/7 care giver for my beautiful 96 year old momma who suffers with severe Alzheimer’s. It’s not an easy life but I count myself very blessed to have this opportunity to try and make her days as comfortable and less scary as I can. Thank you so much for all the joy and laughter you give with each episode you air. You surround yourself with such an amazing group of people and each one seems to steal a bit of my heart. My love to you and all the LaLanders.

After 3 times watching this, congrats to the scholarship winner, Miss Mmakhotso Moloi. Like many parents/guardians, living in reduced circumstances, Grandma wanted this bright artistic lady to take safe path to a career as teacher or nurse. Mmakhotso quiet dignity, confidence and talent won her the opportunity to pursue her dream to be a designer. Thanks for channeling fees from viewership to charities serving many and to the betterment of this individual and her family. Stephanie, your channel is on another level. You revere the past but you were born for a time such as this!! I can't wait to see what new journey you will take us on.

I also hope that some mentorship initiative is in place at the Institute. It is very difficult to take the giant step from township school to a University. She will need a lot of support and encouragement. Please do not let her get overwhelmed. She is such a sweet person.

[@sperovillioti8692]

Hi Marietta We have a mentorship program at the Institute, each and every student is assigned a mentor to guide and support and nurture our students as and when they need it. Today l had a long chat with Miss Mmahotso, as l could see she was quite overwhelmed by all that has happened. She has read every comment there has been, and l saw she was stressed that she couldn’t live up to everyone’s expectations. I explained that, she needs to take it in her stride and just do her best, she cannot be perfect and that it’s ok to make mistakes. But just to reassure you we are all looking after her well-being closely, you will see a bit of her in her first day at the university in the next episode of ours on our channel. But after that we will give her time and space to adjust to her new life at university. Thank you for your concern and thank you for watching you have made a difference.👏👏👏👏👏👏🌼🌼🌼🇿🇦❤️🤓Spero

[@whateverjude]

That statue is St. Anthony de Padua. I recognized him right away because of the flowers (lilies) he is holding. He was my grandmother's favourite Saint and definitely one of my favourite's too. I often pray to him and think about my grandmother. He is a patron of lost things and helped find lost keys and a rosary and many more things after I prayed to him. He is also often seen with a white lily stalk, representing his purity. Other conventions referred to St. Anthony's visionary fervor. Thus, one attribute in use for some time was a flaming heart. Noted by his contemporaries for his powerful preaching, expert knowledge of scripture, and undying love and devotion to the poor and the sick, he was one of the most quickly canonized saints in church history.

This is exactly what I needed to see this morning. (I am watching from South Korea but I am South African) How people can give so much hope and opportunity and care to each other it is even more special to see it happening in my own country thanks to people all over the world.

Wonderful that we got to see her interview and the awarding of it, plus that Isabel and Percy we’re watching as well. Hopefully we will be able to have some progress reports once in awhile. Stay safe and well🙋🏼🥰
