...and now it has a name!

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.




and a fence...

Money that the 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.

and curtains...
Charlotte Koning's Mom organised for Frame to donate fabric and Katherine Gooden's Mom did an amazing sewing job to put together a full set of curtains for the creche.

It is wonderful that the creche now has an identity of it's own by which people will know it.

langelihle creche is the most wonderful project we have EVER DONE. I get so exited when think about the creche and children. the kids were so cute and when we gave them presents the look of happiness and exitment was in there eyes.After we all gave them the gifts they gave us a huge smile and a thank you. It was the best thing in the world better than sliced bread.

It was lovely at Langelihle as soon as we got there some of them started to cry, but as soon as they started to dance they had a big smile on their faces! When we claped then they started to clap and they didn't know what they were doing!

The best part was their look on the children's face- they looked so happy and bright! It's amazing how so few people can make such a difference! Thanks to all who helped or donated: it really was worth it.

im so glad i could help with Langalihle creche!! Its wonderful to see your old toys that have been sitting in your cupboard for years and years in the hands of a small child who will treasure them for ever!! The childern I met were so sweet, i really hope they enjoy their new school and learn lots. I will never forget the amazing experience i had at Langalihle...and I hope all those little children will one day do something like we have done for them for someone else.

All my love Marina :)

When we first got there, I thought that it was just going to be another trip to Langelihle Crech. But it was more then that. The children were adorable and I was touched by the reactions of the ladies who looked after the children when we gave them the books, puzzles etc.
Thank you teachers and mums for all the effort you have put into Langalihle and for making everything possible!
Lotsa luv Cait Wilson.

It is so WONDERFUL to see that we have each helped at least one little child that goes to Langelihle Creche!!!When we handed over the posters and all the toys and goodies to the children and the staff that work there,it felt so good to have given or done something for the creche,i hope it brings a warm feeling to everyone that goes or visits the creche!!I must say it bought a warm feeling to my heart,and a smile to my face when i saw all those children for the first time!! I hope they like all the things that we gave them!!!!!God bless all the children that go to Langelihle Creche!!!!
Love
Tarryn Powell!
