Where do we begin? Well first and foremost I want to thank everyone concerned! Esther, Peter for his taxi driving skills, and of course Irene (Esthers sister) and her family for putting up with us!
We travelled to Ju Ju New Beginning's school and what an experience it was. When we arrived we came upon something so, so, special. I must admit it brought tears to my eyes. It is just like Esther said, it's like your first born child.
We presented the staff with the items we were able to take, then discussed what should be left at the school and what could be given to the children. We decided there should be a presentation day. This was done the following week.
The presentation day arrived and once again we had the experience of travelling to Ju Ju. Was it worth it, you bet it was. We were met, not only by the staff and children but also by the parents (this is a day we will never forget). There were songs, dances and poems from the children. There were presentations for good work, from the tots to the older children and photo opportunities galore. The parents enjoyed it as much as the children. It was so encouraging to see. Every little penny helps, just to see the smiles on the children's and the parent's faces it was well worth it.
Inbetween we visited a very articulate young man, Kelvin!
It was a joy to meet and chat with him.
Hope to meet up with Kelvin and Ju Ju school again as soon as possible.
This was an unbelievable experience.
Best Wishes to everyone
