The Creche Wetting Party

It's early in the morning on Wednesday 20 August 2008 and there is great excitement at Langelihle Creche. Mavis greets 2 of the little ones as they are dropped off by the local 'Kiddie Taxi' and soon they are all laughing and playing in the new classroom while they wait for the 'guests' to arrive!






Miss Roberts opened the morning, followed by a blessing for the Creche by Greg Brooks. Gina Wright, Nanele Nlambo, Sarah Cluver and Danielle Andews each shared a few words.





Then it was the turn of the Langelihle kids who proudly performed a show of dancing and singing in both Zulu and English!
















Next up was Party Time! Each of the little children was given a lunch box filled with party food and juice, and bundled together with a soft toy donated by the St Mary's Grade 6 families. The girls had brought along their own picnic lunches and an enjoyable hour was spent together.
































After a great morning together, it was time to say Goodbye and leave the Langelihle kids to enjoy their new toys, books, puzzles, stationery and outdoor equipment and to finish off an exciting day with a nap on their new mattresses and blankets - all donated by the girls' families.

My little girl usandla is adorable she was eager to speak english as she pronounced every ones name perfect. I would point to something and she would point to it and I would say the name of that thing, and she would repeat it after me. I am looking forward to seeing her again.

The grade sixes went to Langelihle Creche on Wednesday. We had an awsome time there. We got time to play with the kids and eat lunch. The creche did a little dance for us, it was adorable. I played with a little girl named Thando. We ate then we played games.

I really loved it at Langelihle it was the best when we got to sit with the children we taught one little girl how to say fish in english because her toy that she got was a fish we also taught her how to do a high 5, low 5 and baby five it was soooooooo cute...
I hated it when we had to leave I miss the children so much, i cant wait until we go again...
The little girl who we played with definitly touched my heart... when we go again im definitly going to look for her...

I loved how bright and colourful it looked it was so beautiful with all our paintings... this has definitly been the best charity we have ever had...

All of our work definitly paid off it is sooooo nice and beautiful right now and I know those children appreciate all the hard work we did...
