Today I spent the majority of the day with Dlalanathi (www.dlalanathi.org.za) an organisation based in Pietermaritzburg. They are working with communities on child-development focusing, on the family and how parents interact with their children. We were shown around one community by two of Dlalanthi’s finest community managers. They are doing some very interesting work and tomorrow I will visit another project of theirs in another community on the outside of Pietermaritzburg.
Unfortunately Debbie and I witnessed why roads in SA are so unsafe. A combi taxi which was travelling too fast hit a pick up and careered into a group of school children. We rang the emergency services and our thoughts are certainly with those families which were effected.
We then travelled to Ithembalihle to check on progress there. The weather has been awful here for the last few days. Although today has improved. We arrived and distributed school shoes, which had been bought by the building group, for the children, who attend school. They had painted the window frames and hopefully the glazier will come tomorrow. The solar boilers and doors will hopefully be fitted this week.
