OURIEF PRIMARY SCHOOL Potchefstroom

To our great surprise we found an unimaginable urgent need in this school yesterday.
For us Europeans just unimaginable, what we saw there.
Only one dented rusted cup for 92 children.
Little children on bare feet. Torn clothes everywhere.
The only warm meal a day was hot rice with a bit of cooked pumpkin.

A playground that was completely broken.
No balls to play with.
After thorough consultation, the members of the board decided,
to help immediately. With a little bit of effort
we can do a lot for these children.96 new Amira cups, 10 balls and a candy for everyone
made a small party on Thursday 24 January 2019.
The playground itself is not be rebuilt
but can be restored for not too much money.

This is therefore completely unexpectedly our project number 4.
The cost price is estimated at about 20000 Rand
1250 Euro or 1400 Dollar.

The swings must be replaced, the broken slide
removed, a number of small repairs and a firm
lick of paint against the rust will provide a much nicer playground.

The playgrounds are being used very well.
Promosa School and Sarafinapark are in need of new sand. The surrounding areas of the swings and the Merry Go Rounds show deep pits. They need to be filled. In Sarafinapark it’s measured.
The pit around the Merry Go Round is 40cm deep! (1ft,4 inch)
The following picture is from 2016 ( Sarafina park) Even then you could see the pit forming.

Tshupane School ( the fourth new playground this year) has also been visited. They were over the moon with the great news that they will have their playground this year.
Marc will keep on inspecting existing playgrounds, and visit possible new sites in the upcoming weeks. No need to mention a lot of talking is involved.
Within the next two weeks Marc will inform you and come with new pictures. He will inform you regularly.

SUNDAY 6 JANUARY 2019 goes Amira to omroep Gelderland
She wil speak about her Gelukskinders .
Programm: Zin in zondag from 9 to 10.
Later on there will be a you tube video.

What four? How four?.. Absolutely certain four playgrounds will be build, next year.

We are superproud of all fans, who have donated, or helped in other forms, to complete this target.

We can already see the happy, shiny eyes of the children.

Next January we will start working, on the spot. Making contacts, appointments, and execute plans.

Three months will be too short to realise all of it. But we will try very hard and for you fans, donators, there will be loads and loads of pictures and some clips to be seen.
