Tayla Davies' Dad, a few ready, willing and able Kearsney boys - Warren and Dean Seals and Jason Morkel, and handyman Simon attacked the task of paving the 'outside' classroom with great enthusiasm today. A task that, quite clearly, lesser men would not have managed!

concrete pavers donated by a local Hammarsdale businessman, through Merv and Candice Davies, were carried up to the Creche. The ground was then loosened with picks and spades. Umgeni sand funded by the Girls' Collections to date was used to level the paving area and the pavers laid out... only to discover that each paver was a slightly different thickness and required a change to the levels each time!
After a total of 10 hours of hard work, the classroom has begun to take shape and another huge difference is being made. Well done to all involved!
Helen, the monitor from Phakamisa, having watched Merv and the boys at work and obviously picking up a few tips, took the initiative and has finished off the paving herself! Well done Helen! Needless to say, the kids love their new 'Picnic' area.

an Msomi agreed to tackle the removal of the old metal door - not an easy task and something we were struggling to find someone to do! Then they offered to install the wooden door that was donated by Rupert Swart of McCurrach and Swart Builders. Needless to say this saved the money that had been set aside to hire a carpenter - which will pay for the toilet to be fixed!
Graham Harrison of Gatehouse Design digitized the new logo, which Claire van Zyl's Dad, owner of Media Digest, used to print a wonderful sign for the creche. Vic van Zyl and helper Nicholas then did a very professional job of installing it above the front door! In addition, he printed a roll of logo stickers which can be used to identify the books and puzzles as belonging to Langelihle Creche.
girls have raised through their Baker Days and Market Days was used to buy the poles, fencing (at a discounted price from Apex Fencing) and concrete mix and to pay a local Businessman to do the installation. Sarah Cluver's family donated the gate.
