Annah Ndlovu (pictured left) from Madzibandlela Orphanage in Soshanguve, picked up her donations today. She also agreed to take educational toys and stationery, previously donated by Tanya Pegram, with, so that Busisiwe Ramathoka from Odinberg Community Center in Mabopane can pick it up from her tomorrow. Both facilities still need plenty of stuff...food and educational supplies remain an issue and, with the winter around the corner, blankets and warm clothing are high on their priority list.
The children at Odinberg, for instance, have no proper mattresses to lie on during nap-time; they sleep on the cold, hard cement floors of their classrooms. Both Madzibandlela and Odinberg takes care of children aged 0 to grade R, but have no proper school equipment like black/white boards, overhead projectors or sufficient supplies of paper/pens/pencils/crayons/other educational tools. Books for reading are in short supply and it is a struggle for the teachers who are desperately trying to prepare these youngsters for primary school.
