We are running to the finish line of 2015! We had a blessed year, filled with adventure and great memories.
Thank you
We are so grateful for all the angels that arrived at Op die Plaas Preschool throughout the year. Without your commitment and love our days would have been filled with challenges.
Thank you to the Heldervalley Centre, Gaenor and Louise for the weekly computer lessons. The children were enriched and educated. A big thank you to Sanet Uys and Dirk Cilliers from Monkeynastix as well for the classes and blessings throughout the year. The learners are so proud to come and show off what they have learned.
Thank you to Bilinda and her creative team from Life church who worked so hard to create décor and costumes for our concert. The children cannot wait to dress up and have fun and I know the concert will be a huge success. Thank you to Kathy and her team from the Somerset West Night Shelter for the beautiful skirts for the concert. Thank you Bill Guthrie! He drove through storms and faced challenges, but he diligently bought and delivered the school’s groceries. Thank you to Masikhule training centre for the training of our assistants. Thank you Heidi and Halli for the exciting visits and support. Thank you to Ulandi Barry, Johan Huisamen, Reenen Barry and Madeleine Labuschangne for the support this year and for the concert juice.

If I left someone out, please know that you are loved and treasured by us.
