Lilliput Learners

Hello Wyndham folks…
We have moved our rally to Saturday 18th of May to allow more people to join on the weekend.

We have an excellent line up of speakers and local community members at our upcoming rally on Saturday. Please share and bring your family and friends this Saturday to keep the pressure on our local representatives to speak up for the innocent people being bombed in Rafah.
Hope to see you all there 🙂 🇵🇸✌️

🎨 much thanks to .creative for designing the flyer 🙏

Fulfilling all service Philosophy themes and NQF goals is a balancing act and reflecting on the intention behind the food play and how it’s implemented is a lovely Quality improvement focus.
