Caesar Mlumbi School | Print |

Our partner school, Caesar Mlumbi is situated near Port Elizabeth in South Africa.
Although it is in an area where there is a great deal of need, the school is very forward thinking. The children grow vegetables which then provide them with lunch, and they sell some of their produce at local markets. The head teacher is extremely committed to providing the best education possible for the children, and has been successful in securing sponsorship which has meant that they are now connected to the internet and have computers to use in the school. 

Much of the school is in a poor state of repair, so the money we raised has gone towards the rebuilding of their sick bay. As many of the children live a two hour walk away from school, they cannot be collected quickly if they are unwell, and need a comfortable area to rest in.

We aim to raise in the region of five hundred pounds each year to present to the educational foundation that works with Caesar Mlumbi.  It is always gratefully received as you can see from the following email that we have had from them.

"We are very much delighted that we are in receipt of a message saying a sum of R7,600 has been deposited into our bank account. I am now going to tell everyone about this great contribution. The principal shall convene a meeting and tell all the stakeholders including the learners.

We wish to convey our humble and heartfelt thanks. We are very grateful for this big contribution. Our dreams will surely come true."
