Project #2

The Come to Learn Creche is a valuable service to a disadvantaged community giving the children a safe place to stay when their parents are at work. Our villages in South Africa are not safe for young children, and if these vulnerable children are left at home, they fall victim to sexual abuse, drugs and get into a downward spiral. Come to Learn Creche gets a healthy environment for these 30 preschool children to interact with each other and introduce them to learning and stimulating those little minds. Operating out of a steel container, this creche is doing a great job and is in desperate need for many low cost items
