The girls are writing exams at the moment so we can't see them in the mornings. We try to see one or two of them after school, but with public transport on strike that is hard to organize, too.
So I did something else today: handing out shoeboxes in two pre-schools in Khayelitsha. The organization doing that is Kidz2Kidz, where Karin and I could attend a workshop about mindfulness a few weeks ago. The project is huge: thousands of shoeboxes are getting packed and handed to children in the Townships before christmas - Santa Shoeboxes.
It was an opportunity for me to see the Khayelitsha, the biggest township of Cape Town and to see what other organizations working with volunteers do.
Handing out things to many kids at a time is always a little unorganized, but it was fun and a wonderful thing to participate in.
