We can never
have too many books for our library so
thanks to all those who bring them when visiting or send them to our family.
Every story
gives our children another view of the world and helps them to develop their
vocabulary, reading skills and imagination.So thank you to
Susan Johnson, who with her mum, Sarah, is in Athman’s sponsor family, for
sending these lovely books …which made their way to the library, African style.
Many thanks, also, to Sheena Dawson and Ann Summers, from Wantage, who sent some lovely items for our children with their friend Brenda Groves and also to Brenda's granddaughters, Chloe and Lucy Groves, and their friend Jess Dancy for bringing more books and other things for the children. Lily was very happy to be asked to help sort them out!
But as new
items, which we are always so grateful for arrive, other items need repairing
or replacing.
Right now, our
baby cots have completely worn out. Up
to now we have been using travel cots but, like everything, here exposed to intense heat and high humidity levels they have
started to break down – after constant use and scrubbing the material has
started to rot.
So we are
biting the bullet and ordering six hardwood cots, which will be handmade by a
local joiner, at a cost of 60 pounds each.
If you would
like to help towards the cost of these, and any amount will be of help, please
make a donation via JustGiving, with a message ''for cots'' http://www.justgiving.com/childrenofwatamu/Donate
