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.
