| It’s wonderful that so many of you have generously supported the Malaika Kids Christmas Appeal! If you have donated THANK YOU. We are now at £41,000 – still a little short of our revised target of £45,000 so it remains that any donation you may make before 25 December will be doubled.
As I write, our secondary school children who have been boarding are gradually returning to the Children’s Village for the Christmas break. The last group come back on 20 December, two weeks later than usual, to try to make up for lost education when all schools were shut nine months ago for three months. As usual, all the older children in the Reception Home will join their friends at the Village for Christmas celebrations.
Christmas presents aren’t a widespread tradition in Tanzania. However, the children will get a trip during the holidays as a special treat. James, our Village Manager, has organised two to choose from. One will be to a forest nature reserve where they will have a picnic, and the other to the seaside (some of the children can already swim quite well.) |
