The community of Tsweleni Village would like to express their immense thanks to the staff and students of Victoria Education Centre, Poole,UK for
1. The contribution towards the food feeding scheme

Special thanks to Victoria's student,Logan ,who runs the tuckshop . These profits were used for food purchases.
Liz, has been an amazing driving force in getting the support for Tsweleni Village Foundation School.

The children at Tsweleni Village were treated to a Christmas party,thanks to the fundraising efforts of a particular student and staff members at Victoria Education Centre,Poole,🇬🇧 Through selling items at school he has been able to raise money to help feed and progress the pre- school ,thousands of miles away from his own home.. At Christmas he had a special request that the children enjoy a lovely party with some treats.
What an inspiration!

Watch this space. The first batch of many pre-loved children's clothes that will be heading to our school soon. Thank you so much Liz Freeman ( Victoria Education staff member) and family for your generous contribution.
Our children thank you🥰

In 2017 we were involved in a beach clean up at Sinangwana Beach to collect nurdles that had washed ashore after a shipping container event .
Imagine my surprise to see these nurdles on a beach in Dorset in the South West of England. Can they be from the same event? 🤔🤔🤔and if so it provides a reminder about so much with regard to the impact of plastics on environments.

Thank you so very much to Class Portland students and staff and all who purchased our products.

The children of Tsweleni Village Foundation School are ever so blessed. Our friends always look for opportunities to make our educational experiences that much more special. Thank you Tony Bosman and family/friends for kindly delivering the donation of excellent nutritional and learning resources. Thank you Julika and your Trust. You've made a great difference. Yet again

Toilets don't ordinarily excite people😅😅😅right? But for our village where pit toilets can be death traps, we are waiting with excited, bated breath for Jotha Couriers from Port St Johns to make the long journey from Grandesigns in Cape Town with our loo's. Thank you to Bradley Grantham and his team at Grandesigns for the design and construction of the toilets, to Jotha for their superb service in arranging the transport and to Goldman Sachs Gives for funding the transportation. More updates to follow when they arrive in the village

Teacher Ntombifikile who has been volunteering at our school for several years has sadly had a tragedy at home. But in true style she says, " our lives are more important. We are so grateful that we woke up before the fire consumed us. We can always replace things" If you have any kitchen items or cash to help teacher start to get her family kitchen together again, it would be appreciated. Everything was burnt in a fire this week. Please message me for details of cash or material donations you can make . 0729002674. We appreciate teacher and all the work she does for our kids

They say: " You only miss the water when the well runs dry." Our Tsweleni community is so pleased for the borehole drilling and subsequent tap/ pump that is being put in the village. I'm not sure of the exact company or organisation that enabled it to happen. But from all of us ,we say "thank you" and " bless you"

There are angels that walk amongst us. Our Friends from North West took time out from their Port St Johns to Coffee Bay hike to deliver much appreciated goodies and school equipment to our school. Thanks so much Wagpos School in Brits. It's heartwarming to hear that there are lots of people that are cheering us on. Enjoy the next few days of walking 🚶‍♂️
