Students wait in line for their daily donated lunch which is part of our Feed Program.  It's often these kids go hungry and don't have the energy to walk to school.  The food program has helped enormously with attendance rates, as well as school performance and grades.  A typical meal is Sadza (cornmeal), beans and a vegetable (generally spinach).

Thanks to Imvelo Safaris, the new library Carlie Rae of Sunshine is complete.  School books were donated from clients across the world.  Here is one of our South African volunteers who visited our schools to run a teachers workshop for 16 teachers from both high school and junior school in the Tsholotsho area.  All attendees received a suite of English teaching books, dictionaries, stationery and handouts.

Our new school block at Mtshwayeli School.  We have recently supplied the classroom with steel tables and chairs.  We try and use steel since it is a long lasting material.

Our very new teacher cottages which are used as housing during the school year.  We pay teacher incentives to encourage them to leave the city and move to the bush.  It helps them endure the hardships of living so far from civilization.  Teachers are also more readily available for after school tutoring for students in need.
