Soup on a Sunday morning

I went to Old Naledi to visit the kids of Happy Home, who received some hot soup to keep warm on this cold and rainy day.
I am so glad whenever I get a chance to see them.
These kids just make my heart melt.

little projects

For most of last year, we were working on some little projects with the kids at Happy Home. They learnt how to weave with sticks and natural materials and created some pretty pieces.

They also built some miniature traditional houses complete with garden and fence with little twigs and recycled materials.
I just felt like sharing some of the children's work.
Thanks to Camola who took these beautiful pictures!

a day with flowers, letters & cupcakes

I wanted flowers in the house, so I picked some from the roadside on my way home.

The afternoon I spent with the children at Happy Home and they wrote colorful answers to their pen pals. Their letters are really sweet and they even try to teach them some words in Setswana!

The day ended with cupcakes and a little bit of home - podcasts are king!

An early Christmas Party

The charity project that I've been involved in for a while was organising a Christmas party on Saturday. Already the week before we were busy preparing everything, including gift bags for more than 2oo children.

On Saturday morning everyone gathered for a Christmas party and it was such a great experience to join the kids singing and celebrating.

With big eyes and huge smiles on their faces they received their gifts after a long wait and then were treated to a warm meal and some cake.

Some of the kids were totally speechless and seemed to have forgotten the world around them for a while.

It was a very moving event and the kids were incredibly to watch.
I am so thankful and proud to have the opportunity to work with the children and the awesome team at Happy Home!

Thanks to my sister for coming with me & taking all the beautiful pictures!
