On Saturday Philani moved! We had many helpers, building, moving, unpacking and making mud buildings. The new spot is much bigger and we have already been able to expand so much!

Beach outing


On the last day of term we went on an outing to the beach. The day started early, with a bus drip down to the coast. The children were a bit nervous of the sea at first but before long they were shrieking with laughter and playing in the waves on the shore.

Wooden house

We were given exciting news this week, the Umvoti municipality has donated this wooden house for us to use at Lindelani. It needs a bit of restoration, but once we have replaced windows and doors and given it a few layers of varnish, it is going to be ideal for new classrooms and the baby care!
