Thamsanqa Toddlers.

Two children in our playgroup. The little boy lives next to one of our foster homes and also came running to me when I visited. I saw his need for education and stimulation. What a bright star he is in our playgroup. The girl is on ARV medicines. Both these children need the playgroup and are doing so well. Under our care the girl learnt to crawl, walk and talk and now she is stimulated and cared for at our playgroup.

Motherwell in the rain.

Our office building was surrounded by water this week. In Many of the streets in Motherwell the streets were covered with water.

Last Sunday Patricia who is visiting Peter and Daphne wanted to take the children in Lulama's house to Steers. Louise and myself accompanied her. They had icecream afterwards. Look at Andiswa and Yonela enjoying themselves.

One more photo I could not resist placing.

Can you see the picture on the wall that our Dutch volunteers did.

Another playgroup photo

Louise, Larisa with the music, our mothers Lulama and Zanele, the Dutch volunteers, Patricia, Janske and Joost were all part of the opening of the playgroup at Zanele and Simphiwe's house. I am so glad that Awonke, the girl on our pamphlet and the first child on our OVC register is part of the playgroup. Awonke's mother died of an Aids-related decease. She was very ill when we got involved with her and now she can walk and talk and receives her medicine regularly. Isnt it wonderful that we can now educat and stimulate her too. Little Apele did not come, his grandfather is not sure whether he wants to send him to us or to another creche. I am very disappointed because he stayed home last year and received no stimulation. I will be happy if he goes to a creche and get stimulated.
Its done people it's done!!!
