Hello there again!

Lots of things has happend latey! And the best thing is that the creche has opened!

On the 7th of May the offical opening was. However before that we went to buy furniture for the creche in Port Elizabeth, 8 colord tables and 32 colord chairs, as well as 3000 rand for educational toys and educational Posters.

On the wednesday before the opening Yvon went out to make a painting on the back wall. (see the pics for the results).

The Saturday itself was a big success. We invited the local farmers, loca people, teachers, the church. Besides that the general managers from the Netherlands and Qatar were there aswell to open the creche.

We started at 10.30 with a offical Welcome from MK Raco, and a Prayer of his uncle. Then Mr. Taai (the community development manager) handed the creche to the community. We also had some thanks to Qatar and some advisory words from the Netherlands. After that there was place for some traditional dances, some food and drinks. When the most 'white' people had left the local people started to dance and sing in gradituede and some tears where dropped by all of us.

Although the opening was a succes. We are not finished yet. More donors have been found and we are planning on building toilets. Besides that will the money be used to pay two volenteers for the coming 7 months.

The 2 volenteers have been found in the community. It are two young ladies who stepped forward and offered there help. They will get some help, as well as sponsorhsip to get an offical pre-school teacher educations.

The last thing for now on the agenda is to give an offical presentation for the local government in order to ask for their help.
