Recycling Puppet Show





Hi,

Here is a photo of a little puppet show we did for the orphans on recycling and collecting rubbish. The children had a huge response and rushed around collecting rubbish in plastic garbage bags which I took to the recycling depo in Malelane. The children expressed amazement at how much rubbish they found - hopefully this kind of "sensitizing" will encourage them to clean up their neighbourhood and the word will spread!



The 2 room houses we are building with funding from the South African Catholic Bishops Conference is going well and the first 10 will be finished soon. The families concerned are over the moon as you can imagine and very happy to be given a water tank and guttering to catch rain water, thus obviating the nasty chore of having to go to collect water in a wheelbarrow if the water lorry rocks up as scheduled - which doesn't always happen and the the household has to try and do without!
