Blessings Abound
So many folk in our community bless our home with goods and services andmany others who financially sow into the life of our home. Rob and the GHO gas team recently replaced a geyser for us and they have ensured we have hotrunning water for years! Shoprite Richards Bay dropped off hot soup, bread and much needed sanitizers. The WI ladies made the most adorable jackets to keepour tiny tots warm and SEEFF contributed gifts for a festive Christmas for our kiddos. While the staff enjoyed the game reserve the kids had a fantastic time with Frans at Elite Fitness! Thank you to each of you and to the many I have not mentioned here! We could not do it without you on board!
Staff Year End Teambuilder
Taking time out as a team to rest and laugh together is a vital part of the overall care of our children. We were super spoiled to have Teshni of Under African Skies as our tour guide with her wealth of knowledge and her great humour. Thank you to Ezemvelo Hilltop for sponsoring our entrance in to Umfolozi Game Park. Most of us had never seen wildlife besides in a book or on a screen, so this was a true lifetime experience. Seeing 4 of the Big 5 was a cherry on top! Thanks to Woolworths, Power Spar and Kingsley for keeping us well fed and hydrated!
Christmas Crafting
Getting into the Christmas spirit and building the excitement for the kids through crafts.
Look how creatine our little pre-schoolers have been!
Kindergarten Creativity
Glory, our Early Childhood Development Teacher and Wiebke, APCM Volunteer, spend may creative hours with the kids during our school readiness program. Look at the colourful and fun projects they produced recently. The kiddies often come dashing into the office to show off their talents too - I simply love it!
Birthday Bash
Celebrating each child's birthday is one of my favourite things to do. To share the special milestone with a personalised gift and seeing the expression of sheer delight on their face as they open their gift and cut their special themed cake is priceless and extremely heart warming. To say this little man adores dogs is an under statement, so when he promptly went on all fours pretending to be a dog, when he saw his puppy cake, we knew we had nailed it!
Doing Life
Dear Friends
I take this opportunity to thank each and every person, business andorganisation that has partnered with us this year. Without you, we simply wouldnot be able to invest into the lives of our children with such fervour and so generoulsly. Our hearts desire is to see each child thrive in every area life has to offer and together we are making progress!
For us, January is the beginning of the academic year and we are excited tohave 15 learners in school next year. It is a huge feat getting them ready and again we thank each person who has contributed towards this initiative so far.
With Christmas around the corner we want to express our gratitude to our Heavenly Father for the gift of His Son, Jesus. We love to share and celebrate the birth of Jesus with our kids and so we thank every family who has contributed to the individualised parcels for our children. We know how excited they will be to receive a gift off their wishlists and we thank you for making their dreams into realities!
Wishing you a blessed Christmas and a very festive New Year.
Greetings and love from
Loressa, staff and kids
