Project 3 2019: Tshupane School Ikageng. Playground 10.

As most of you have heard, Amira spoke about the realisation of three playgrounds.
She actualy meant 3 projects.

About the first two projects the funds and the plans are there already stated on this page.
For this project we are still looking for the necessary funds.

An introduction:
The Tshupane School is a big school with 1300 children. At this moment they heve NO playground equipment at all, not even an old, rusty one. Children just wander around or play with sand and rocks.

All money the school gets is necessary to let the children eat, at least once a day. At their
home even a normal meal is not always possible.
The school lies in the middle of a huge township, Corrugated houses, wooden houses even
cardboard has been used.
When we drove through that township back in June, several of us had tears in our eyes.
This realy exist in 2018?

With this school we will start talking as of the beginning of next year (2019).
If possible this playground will also be build next year August. This way we hope we can bring a
little joy and smiles to the childrens faces.

Below two pictures of the houses where these children live.

The school needs the following equipment:
– 3 merry-go-rounds at the cost of 15.000 ZAR each
– 3 big slides at the cost of 3.500 ZAR each
– 3 small slides at the cost of 3.000 ZAR each
– 2 climbing equipment with small slides at the cost of 15.000 ZAR each
– 1 climbing airoplane at the cost of 15.000 ZAR
– 3 times 3 small swings at the cost of 3.00 ZAR each
– 5 times 3 big swings at the cost of 3.500 ZAR each
Total for this big playground is around 150.000 ZAR or 9.500 euro or around 11.000 USD.

It would be awesome if we could get this plaground up and running next year.
Next year is the celebration of 5 years gelukskinders.
What nicer gift is there for Amira?
At the celebration of 5 years gelukskinders, which will happen at the 1st of December 2019, we
might be able to celebrate 3 different things.
— 5 years gelukskinders
— 10 playgrounds
— 10.000 children playing in their own playground, thanks to Amira, her supporters, sponsors and
her foundation.
We will start soon with an action to realise just that, We call on everybody, who also have a good
feeling about Amira and her project, to contribute a little bit, or a little bit more.

Talks will still have to take place with the equipmentbuilder and the school for a possible sandpit at the cost of 15.000 ZAR, that’s around 1.000 euro or 1.200 USD.

The Ikalafeng school is an institution for disabled children between the age of 6 and 18.
There is also a small boarding school attached to it. Here the children stay that come from far or
who cannot be taken care of at home.
Also disabled children who are under juristiction of the Government are placed here, for a short
period of time.
This school is also supported by the NWU university of Potchefstroom.
At this very moment the school has 1 old rusty slide. Children line up to make use of it.
This is it:

For this playground funds are available. The funds were raised during this year (2018) and a little from the year before. This way the foundation could make arrangements with this school.
This playground will also be build in August 2019.

Total price will be around 40.000 ZAR, that’s around 2.500 Euro or 3.000 USD.

The Laula Fourie school is a school far from the city centre for very underprivilged children.
At first contact it turned out that the entire school only had 2 drinking mugs for all 200 children.
This was something to be dealt with immediately. Amira send us on our way to the shops to buy 100 metal mugs. She and those around her have spend an entire evening to decorate them with hearts and turtles.
The children get a warm meal in this school every day. Most likely the only meal they get, their
parents have almost next to nothing.
Therfor it is our goal, when these playgrounds are opened, to have a big party, with a hot meal. The childrens parents will be invited too. A sponsor has been found for this extra party.

The foundation has a brochure now.

It will help the foundation to gain more publicity.
