last night we had the pleasure of attending the graceland pre primary school graduation, graceland is another thembalitsha foundation project and provides education to around 60 preschool (3-6 years) farm workers children from the beautiful devon valley area just outside stellenbosch.
the evening started with the graduation of around 15 children, who were all dressed up in the full garb, see photos, and then each class performed a short song or nursery rhyme, the highlight being a class dancing in full south african soccer shirts to the song 'make the circle bigger' which was very big over here during the world cup. the parents and children then ended the evening with a full braai (BBQ) prepared by some of the students from the school of hope.
the principle of the school, elizabeth, and her team do an amazing job in preparing these disadvantaged children for their entry into the education system and it was lovely to celebrate with them the stories of hope that they are providing to their community.
