Firstly the good news: we have recently been fundraising to help build a second classroom, like this one for the Lindelani creche and baby centre. We have just sent over a lump sum which could almost pay for a second classroom.
In particular, thank you to the Finance team from the Equality and Human Rights Commission who made a big contribution over Christmas as well as to those people who have set up standing orders to contribute monthly. £5 might only buy you 2 Starbucks lattes, but it buys a whole deal more in South Africa!

If anyone else would like to set up a standing order or make a donation, please contact me by emailing me at childrenofafrica@hotmail.co.uk or make a donation to “Children of Africa” charity online at www.cafonline.org.
The baby centre has a new outdoor play area:
There is a little more grass than there was 3 months ago …
I just love the kids here. I know you shouldn’t have favourites, but who can’t fall in love with this face?
These two were chuffed to bits to be watching themselves on video!
All the children are fed here, which ensures that they are properly nourished. Often when the babies first arrive they are quite neglected and hungry.
But, their weights have been tracked and the baby scale we donated has come in quite handy to show that they have put on weight and are much healthier now.
