Emmanuel Educare Renovations
Renovations to Emmanuel Educare are well underway – thanks to the National Lottery and some individuals who have given generous financial donations towards this project. The building work should be completed in Dec 2010 and we will have wonderful facilities consisting of 6 brand new classrooms, a new kitchen and toilets for 180 children, aged 3-6 years. Emmanuel will become the feeder pre-school with Grade R classes for the new Westlake Primary School, which is currently also in the process of being built.
Indoor sports day for the elderly.
Beatrice, the facilitator of our chronic disease support groups, organised an indoor sports day in our hall on Fri 30 July ’10. She invited Living Hope, whose Capricorn group joined us, as well as Dreyersdal Park. They all had banners, war cries, and there was much fun and laughter with vuvuzelas, etc! Dreyersdal Park won, Capricorn came 2nd and Westlake 3rd! We would like to congratulate Beatrice on organising an excellent event for the elderly, who enjoyed it so much and now want another one!
Computer Course Graduation
Saturday, 31 July ’10, will be remembered as a memorable day for 12 students who graduated, some with flying colours, from our very first computer training course held at Westlake. Dell SA donated 14 brand new computers in April and these were put to good use when Silulo Ulutho IT, a company based in Khayelitsha, ran the 3 month intensive course which covered Microsoft Word, excel spreadsheets, emails, etc. We are so proud of them and would like to say congratulations – may this open up many exciting opportunities for them in the future.
