Koelenhof Primary, WC, South Africa

Precious Little racked up its third school at the end of November, and I've just a got a few minutes to update the blog with a few pics and some basic info.




The school is near Paarl, in the Western Cape of South Africa and is attended mostly by Kleurling and Xhosa kids. The surrounding region is famous for its stupendous scenery and its even more stupendous wines. Most of the kids' parents are farm labourers on the nearby vineyards and farms.

The kids were a delight - especially for Leonie because they spoke Afrikaans! Not so easy for me to communicate, however, as my Afrikaans vocabulary mostly consists of animal names and swear words.

Thanks to Este Mellet and Mr Manders for helping to set this visit up.

Will post more later on this school - gotta dash now.




Love

Nick and Leonie (nr Mussel Bay, South Africa)
