Miss Thamsanqa

A little while we elected Ms Thamsanqa. Here I am with the two winners. They shared first place. Have you ever seen such beautiful children ?
Somebody said to me the other day Tia how will you get funders to fund your project. Your children are always beautifully dressed and make such a good impression. That is what we strive for - to break the poverty circle. Our vision is abundant life for them.

Thamsanqa Tinker Tots Prizegiving

Last night was so exiting. There you see Lulama Larisa and Louise with the children of our Thamsanq playgroup performing at the prizegiving ceremony
Laura and Wilker, our last two volunteers from Be More decided that the prizegiving evening must be a festive affair. They bought crowns for the girls and necklases for the girl and hats and moustaches for the boys. Everybody's face was full of glitter. As you can see Louise, Larisa and Lulama also wore crowns. I also had one ( yes I now have lovely curly hair)
Lulama and Larisa guided the children to perform. They sang beautiful. Then Larisa handed oudt a certificate with the child's best characteristic on there. I was so impressed.
The parents came and brought a friend, the Thamsanqa children and mother came. Laura and Wilke brought Roos and Elwin and the Thembisa volunteers. I will place a few more photos.
Then Laura and Wilken served cup cakes and cooldrink and chips. Louise handed thank you letters to the Laura and Wilken. Laura and Wilken said a last farewell. The Thamsanqa children sang two beautiful sons and then all is well with my soul.
I always advised communities to be involved with community projects and here at the end of my career I am so fortunate to be involved in CWSA Family Restoration Services Thamsanqa Community projects. We have a vision for a full day Creche in two year's time. It is only finances that stand between us and greater success in Motherwell.

Soccer Day.

On Sumday Louise and Elwin Bacas organised a sports day for the Thamsanqa United Soccer Club and the children from the Thamsanq Cluster Foster Homes. Elwin with Simphiwe and Siya, the two soccer coaches kept the children busy on the soccer field while Louise and Phumlani, one of our Asibavikele vounteers presented lifeskills programmes in a room inside the Raymond Mhlaba Sports Centre. They used a film from Heartlines, called the bet. It was an axcellent film
Elwin spoilt the children with apples, cooldrink, chicken and rolls.
