Fund Life-Changing Education for 201 African Kids

Dear Supporter, 

Recent donations to this project have allowed us to purchase tables and chairs that are used by the children for eating times at the orphanage as well as plates, cups, cutlery, jugs and handwashing bowls for the children’s eating time as well as a container to store them

With a growing number of children at the orphanage, having enough eating utensils, tables and chairs can often be a challenge.  Carers often use valuable time getting enough cups and plates together and those we already have are often cracked which is not ideal for keeping them clean. Tables are used for lessons and then brought to the eating area for meal times. This can also be time consuming and can interfere with the children’s lesson time.

We also purchased 5 new blue tables and 20 chairs which can be used for meal times. The intention is that where possible these are used only for meals. This is time efficient and also means that things such as paint and glue are not used on the tables which are also used for eating.  The children also fit around the table more easily with the extra space the new chairs and tables provide.

This donation has provided resources that make meal preparation more efficient and hygienic.  It also means meal time can be set up without interfering with classes. Storage is more efficient and importantly, the children know that once they are sitting at the blue tables, it’s meal time and they need to follow the meal time procedures.

Thank you for continuing to support this project.

All the best

GVI Cape Town
