So as Mum mentioned, March saw another trip out of Thembelihle for the kids. They hadn’t had one since the funfair back in September/October time so it was great to see all their smiling faces as they ran and splashed in the water, running and jumping over the waves, and stuffing their trunks/cozzies with disguisting amounts of sand…eurgh! We had a Braii, drew pictures in the sand and generally enjoyed a day out of the classroom and Mthatha (although I think I may have come down with mild sunstroke from the long day)! I’m hoping that when I return home to the UK I will be able to fundraise not only for the general running of the home, but also for days out like these as it really does mean a lot to the kids!
About Me
- Maya Walker
- So here it is...finally I have got round to creating a blog (something I should have done months ago)! Hopefully this will be of some interest to someone out there...? Either way, it will be a place for me to keep track of my journey with Project Trust, and record my highs, lows, and most memorable experiences in South Africa. I will be spending 12 months volunteering in Thembelihle, a home of safety for at-risk children in Mthatha, starting 25th August 2011...'a year in the life of a Project Trust volunteer'!
