The Happy Africa Foundation - September

THAF Intern Stacey Addison has been working as hard as ever for us here at African Impact St. Lucia, take a look at the work she has been up to. Wait! There is more! Check out the stats from half way through her stay, it's pretty amazing! 

Limke (pictured left) saw our donation request on Facebook

A scale for our 10 Families focal project was donated! Massive thanks to Medical Outreach and HIV Awareness volunteer Limke de Hoek!!!

 3 baby packs were given out to new mothers in the communities full of clothes and essential baby items.

 Quiz Night raised R1545 for the Medical Project, with 5 teams competing for a prize of wine and beer glasses.

African Impact Thanda visited St Lucia and we got everyone together to participate in a quiz which was made by one of Thanda’s Volunteer Coordinators, Tara. All of the volunteers enjoyed meeting each other and we were able to raise money for THAF and their Rhino fund. R135.50 was raised for THAF which will go towards Inkanyezi Crèche.

Gogo was thrilled with the mattress received on a visit from Flo and Selien.

        We delivered a bed and mattress to Veronic, one of our 10 Families and Home Based Care patients. Although she wasn’t at home she had a lovely surprise when she got home to find a new bed which was made and painted by volunteers. 

      We also delivered a mattress to Gogo Khumalo. She was so happy to receive this donation and it has made her life a lot more comfortable.

       

      We held a yoga session at the volunteer house with local yoga guru David which raised R120 for Inkanyezi Crèche.

Some of the many donations we received being put to good use. 

     The donations room has been restored after peak season and all donations have now been labelled and organised with donations being sorted ready for Christmas.

       Lots of awesome crafts were made at Holiday Club, After School Clubs and in crèche lessons using donations given by past volunteers.
