Music Sand New toys & E'Pap !

Wow !! It's been a whole month since I posted ..what happened to the time ?? The kids have been on holiday for some of the time though..that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it !!

 

Happy as a sandman !

Sand in our sandpit !! What joy !!

At long last my pleas for sand for the forlorn sandpit were heard and George arrived like a knight in shining armour with a bakkie load of lovely clean beach sand !!He has since brought another load and the promise of one more next week . What a difference !! Thank-you George..you are THE MAN !!       The little one's were so excited when they arrived back from their holidays to find not only a lovely sand-pit to play in , but a whole heap of wonderful sand-pit toys as well ! This is huge thanks to the wonderful love and support from "Grandma Crys" and Karen RV from the USA !

Indoor music time is also much more fun these days ! Brian Tynan from Australia sent a lovely donation to purchase a funky little CD player..what fun to watch the kids singing their little lungs out ! They LOVE it !!

Music !!!

I don't think I have ever heard such a lively rendition of "Wheels on the Bus " . Thank-you so much Brian..your love and support is so appreciated !

..Wheels on the bus go round and round ....

Jarred putting his name on his gifts !

My two wonderful grandsons , Jack & Jarred have also both been so lovely ..Jack turned 8 and donated $20.00 of his birthday money to the kids ! What an awesome little boy ..THANK-YOU JACK..I am going to buy the little boys some soccer balls , they will remember your birthday for a very long time !! Jarred sorted out some of his toys and special books and delivered them himself ! The little ones were soo delighted to see him and he nearly got mobbed ..he showed them how to use stencils to draw with and they were so excited ! Thank-you JT ..I am so so proud of both of you !

Happiness !!!!

   More lovely donations from Sandra (Essee) in Australia and my little sister Cols in Tasmania went towards a big box of toys to start off the new term ! Wonderful hula-hoops , wooden puzzles, dupla blocks , 3 soccer balls, threading things , little cars and the CUTEST little black dollies ! What big spoils and huge excitement !!

Such spoils !

Lovely new cars..vroom vroom !!

HOW cute are these babies ???

  
The school is having a jumble sale on 4th November to generate much needed funds for their year end functions including "graduation" of the 5 year olds ! We have already collected a fair bit thanks to Lauren . A big THANK-YOU to Louwrens for his very generous bagful of wonderful clothing for them to sell plus some blankets for the little ones. You are a star Louwrens ..your support makes the world of difference ! PLEASE remember us if you are down-sizing..anything goes !

  Local sweetheart Pam knitted some little caps and made some cute bean-bags for the kids plus some lovely aprons .
The E'Pap feeding scheme is happening very slowly but never the less is still  happening !  The kids have it everyday now and the difference in their health is starting to show ! Not half as many snotty noses and little cheekbones are starting to fill out ! It is very heart-warming to see ! Rejoice told me whenever the kids come back from holidays some of them have "long" necks , meaning their scrawniness from malnutrition ! All those long necks nearly broke my heart ..we can only do our best to make sure they are well-nourished while they are at school !
I am still desperately hoping for sponsors for this scheme and would love some input from anyone with a bit of "begging" experience to give me a hand !! Bigger companies needing BEE points can get them from sponsoring us and of course it is also tax deductible !! Kevin and Sarah 's stop orders every month are so appreciated ..you two feed all those kids for a week ! THANK-YOU !!! A friend of Essee's from Australia also sent a donation enough to buy 15 packets ..Awesome friends you have Es ♥♥and big hugs to Marie ! It was Sybil's birthday as well last week and instead of a gift from us we will also buy 15 packets on her behalf  ! Happy Birthday Sybil !! I need to take more pics of the veggie garden..it is looking fabulous after the recent rains and should be starting to supplement lunch quite soon !!
WOW !! Just reading back I am over-whelmed how much has happened !! What a lot of love and support we have received ..Bless you all !!! Enjoy the pics ! Lots of love..Kay XXX

Such a busy bee !

So much fun before breakfast !

I am staying here all day !

Woo-Hoo !!!!
