DuNoon Project














Dear Diane and dear Neil

Apologies for the long silence, you have most certainly not been forgotten! But I just didn’t have news on progress with Ekhaya, the crèche in Dunoon, which we wanted to build with your donations (Neil, Dunoon is even poorer than Vivian’s Joe Slovo settlement!).

We now have enough funds to go ahead with this US$ 11.000 project!!! We have already supplied chairs, tables, mattresses and blankets for 40 kids, installed child toilets and basins, running water in the kitchen, repaired the roof ($ 2,500), and I have just ordered the first half of the building material. We found a parent, an unemployed Zimbabwean builder, who asked $ 1,000 to do the rest of the building work.
You probably got some of the photos already, but here is more.

I am so excited! It is a great miracle how the funds and donations all of a sudden materialised.

Hugs
