It is with joy in my heart that I have to acknowledge the generosity and support we have received from Love to Langa, our relationship spanning six years. To-date you have provided scholarships for orphans (parents having passed on due to AIDS, accidents, murder) and single mothers who struggle daily to feed their children. Not forgetting assisting our community who had their shacks go up in flames and you supplied them with provisions in a time when they had nothing. Our outings that the children look forward to annually, the educational equipment you donate. Your generosity and that of your donors does not stop. Last year, Love to Langa supported me with staff salaries to ensure my staff had a fantastic Christmas.
Because of all you do for the 220 children and staff at Mfuleni Early Childhood Centre, I was able to save money and am now able to contribute towards a new play area for the children. I am able to maintain the facilities and its due to you. However, you have made me want to PAY It FORWARD. I believe if good comes my way, I have a duty to pass it forward. That is what you taught me.
On June 11, 2018, I will be making soup for the community. We want to feed 3,000 people in Mfuleni Township. This will be in honour of Love to Langa who has taught us that if we receive, we need to give back.
Love Always,
Sandra Lucas, Principal Mfuleni ECD
PS Regarding Scholarships for 2018 at Mfuleni ECD:
Our selection of scholarships was not made by me, the principal, this year but by the teachers. Each teacher submitted a report of who they felt needed a scholarship as they are in daily contact with the parents and guardians. The teachers are the ones who notice what children come to school with e.g. broken shoes, who does not have a snack, who is neglected and what parents are at the end of their tether.
That is how the scholarship children were selected this year and I feel proud of my teachers who proved they could be fair with their selection process.
