2017 Volunteer Trip To South Africa
-Apotheke 'The Place of Healing'-
2016
Exactly a year ago three fabulous Sunshine Coast gals in Queensland, Australia generously performed and fund raised for our orphanage school here in Africa and today we are finally able to officially hand over the KITTY KATS CLASSROOM !
Mooloolaba Rotary would like to thank the fabulous KITTY KATS - Renae Suttie, Michelle Brown and Susanne Campbell for also donating the lovely little (pussy cat) ears to the delighted African children for this ceremony.
The schoolchildren entertained us fabulously with singing, dances and heartwarming speeches of thanks and gratitude as we handed the KITTY KATS CLASSROOM plaque over to Doreen.
Thereafter we visited another orphanage called HOUSE OF HOPE and the Dunamis Rotary Interactors distributed beautiful beanies, knitted jumpers and toys (made by our Australian friends and neighbours).
Yesterday there were 12 abandoned babies who desperately need care and the Dunamis (Rotary) Interactors generously donated more toys and gifts.
Thereafter the teenagers were given a very graphic sex education lesson and many questions were answered
Departed Johannesburg and 4 hour drive with Eddie to Welkom to receive a ROCK STAR welcome from the whole school who sang and danced for us as we entered the school gates
We settle into our cosy thatched accommodation and awake to the sound of roaring lions only 50 metres away and separated from us by an electric fence. We sort out the toys and clothing for distribution and then head off to another warm welcome from the children at the Dunamis School.
Sadly our assignment here in Africa has ended and today is a whirlwind of farewells and last minute hugs and exchanges of gifts and contact numbers.
