Time is flying by!
The school term is coming to an end but what a good term it’s been. The volunteers have been working hard with the crèche children teaching them a variety of topics ranging from colours to body parts. One of the biggest achievements is that the children from Inkanyezi and Ndabenhle crèche, have mastered the pronunciation of ‘H’. It’s taken a lot of patience and perseverance from the volunteers, but the hard work has paid off.
We have started to compile a curriculum for the crèches so that the lessons are more directed at helping the children to get to Primary School level. It will also be beneficial for the volunteers as it will make the planning and lessons more structured. A group of volunteers and Jo’s mum made a great start to it and we hope to be able to put it into practise within the next term.
The volunteers have had some great beach fun with the Afterschool Club boys, as well as the Support Groups. The boys played a lot of football, and the ladies from the Support Groups turned the beach into a semi nudest one! The beach seems to put smiles on everyone’s faces.
Our relationship with Eswenelisha Clinic is going from strength to strength. We had a great meeting with the head sister at the beginning of the month and she is happy for us to start general health promotion as well as advertising our HIV Education courses. She is pleased with the work that we have done so far, and is keen for us to continue there.
It’s been a great month with lots of happy memories for the volunteers and the projects.
