It was good to get back to Ethembeni after over a week away from the family centre and the care centre because of Durban. On Tuesday we were given one of our main projects for the next two months (I can't believe that we have been here for four weeks already!) which is to paint and decorate a pre-school in Mpophomeni called Grace Chapel Educare Centre. There are 180 children between the ages of 1-6 in four classrooms with 5 teachers! The walls are concrete and bare with the schools colours on the walls, dark orange and brown. The girls visited the school on Tuesday morning and spent the afternoon making plans and setting up a 'Just Giving' page. Our main aim is the paint the hallway to make it more cheerful and to provide bag and coat hooks which will create more space which is desperately needed. We have money given to us from Ethembeni but we need more if we are going to achieve our aim of making it a safer and better learning environment and especially to get the coat hooks made. This a link to our page and it would be amazing if we can raise as much as possible! Any donations would be greatly appreciated and would make the world of difference, especially because the exchange rate from pounds to rand is so good. I will try and post some photos on here when I can,
