During our February report we mentioned that our children’s playground was unsafe. This was due to the fact that there was no barrier between the road bordering the school premises and the playground.
Well….now because of the generous donations we have received from our GlobalGiving donors, a brand new fence, with two gates, is bordering our playground! You are absolutely amazing. Thank you.
The road next to the school is the main and only artery to the location where about 500 people reside. For all of you who know little children, a little child running after a runaway ball heading for the street has no sense of cars, cyclist or flying stones. Outdoor play has always been a tense affair with safety and security taking a bigger portion than it should of the attention needed to observe our children’s development in the play area.
We can now all work and play in a more secure environment, and children and staff of the Ibhabhathane thank you all for the time and resources you so generously share with our organisation.
We want to specially thank those who share the Ibhabhathane Community Centre’s Projects with friends and family. You might think it strange that this matters so much but it means a lot to us that you have taken your time to actually talk about our project to others. We really want to thank you for that.
Please watch this space, because now that our playground is fenced in, our dream of a veggie garden can become a reality…so looking forward to that! No more travelling 40km to the nearest town to buy veggies.
Once again, thank you for all your encouraging thoughts, kind words and invaluable financial support.
Our sincere thanks
Yolande Delport
