HOW YOU CAN HELP!

When I went to South Africa last year, Ekukanyeni had only one classroom.  Since my visit, I've raised the money for one more.    : )

Mama Amelia would like to add another three classroom buildings.  One would be a playroom for the really young kids, another would be a bathroom with separate areas for boys and girls, and one would be a kitchen.

And here's the best part:  the classroom buildings are just $6,000 each.  So - I only need to raise $18,000 to reach our goal.  If you'd like to help - feel free to email me at stuandmabel@gmail.com.  Or you can make a donation to the Ekukanyeni Day Care account on PayPal by entering stuandmabel@gmail.com.  At the request of Mama Amelia (who is VERY smart about these things!) 100% of the money donated goes DIRECTLY to the company selling the classrooms so we know that that's what our money is being used for.

When the money for the classrooms has been raised, my goal is to then start an education fund so that the children of Ekuhhanyeni can attend the bilingual school (Xhosa and English) which will enable them to seek higher paying jobs when the leave school.

Thanks so much for visiting the blog.  I'll be returning to South Africa soon and will post more information then!
