The Day
Care Centre
I have been promising for some time to let you know what’s
happening and recently we had some wonderful volunteers who
with the help of George who went and completed the final stages
of putting up guttering, (to harness the rain water) and fencing
around the vegetable garden to keep the stray animals out.
From the very humble beginnings in a run down shed with a
few children to care for, Maria now has 45 children she and
her helpers look after.
They have a wonderful little school house where they are taught
numbers, rhymes, and a much cleaner yard in which to play
on the swings that have been erected. There is a better kitchen
in which to cook the meals and all in all a very successful
but ‘on going’ project.
I’d like to give a huge big warm thank you to Denise
& George Lloyd who have so tirelessly devoted time and
effort in assisting & training Maria to get where she
is today. I’d also like to thank everyone, who donated
money, toys, books and food to the project without your help
it may not have got to this point.
We now try to raise funds for incidentals, by printing beautiful
postcards of photographs taken by our guests and selling them
in our curio shop. What better way to ‘show off’
your lovely photographs of our animals and to get them out
there in the world for other people to see.
All the proceeds going towards the fund for the Day Care Centre.
More good news
With the successful introduction of our Big5 drives we will
now be offering our guests trips into the Kruger National
Park, on a full day package.
Until next month bye for now.
