Northern Drakensberg Khanyisela Project
Firstly a big THANK YOU to those of you who have made, and continue to make donations, whether they be monetary, goods or in kind, to this worthwhile project.
We update you on some of our projects below:
Project Funding Competition
In order to fund teacher training, food supplements for crèche children, crèche maintenance, building projects and cleaning materials etc. we are appealing to companies, friends and families to commit to a recurring R100 donation per month.

Each R100 will entitle you to a ticket in a draw for a weekend for 2 at The Cavern. A draw will take place every 4 months: 31 October, 28 February and 30 June.
Teacher Training
 Another 7 teachers began their Level 1, Basic Certificate in Early Childhood Development (ECD) course earlier this year and have attended 3 training sessions. 7 other teachers have completed their Level 4 course and will be receiving their National Certificate in ECD. We hope to be able to send them on the level 5, Higher Certificate in ECD, course next year.
Training of the teachers is, we feel, one of the most important areas which will quickly improve the quality of the children’s learning and development.

Building a Pre-Primary School
Since our last letter we have built the Samekelokuhle Crèche. The children moved in for the new term on the 20th of July. Their teachers Gabisile and Thuli were very excited that they have a proper building with a large classroom, a storeroom and a kitchen instead of moving from premises to premises as they did before.
This building has cost us, after the various donations of plant, materials and manpower, in the region of R75000. Of this amount we only had R50000 donated specifically for this building. We still need funding to enable us to pay for and then install rainwater guttering and storage tanks (approximately R8000), and security fencing (approximately R16000).
A big THANK YOU goes to the children of Reddam House School who supplied paint and came and painted the building for us.
Schools Adventure Programme
One Johannesburg school has already booked for the 3 three day Drakensberg Mountain Adventure Programme. The learners will visit some of the Amazizi schools and assist in various maintenance and school activities. There will also be plenty of time for fun activities including use of an indoor heated pool and an outdoor heated water slide.
Please contact Dave and Daphne Thurlwell at
for more information.
We would like to thank the Newcastle Senior Primary and the Retford Rotary Club in the UK for their assistance.
Keep the jumble donations coming as they all go to good homes.
Warm regards
The Cavern Family
