The two volunteers Katharina Wagner and Sophia Eckerth have not only organised a varied holiday care programme for the children; at the start of the school year, the two are also active with plenty of commitment and new ideas.
After the successful holiday care with plaster masks, face painting, colouring in Christmas pictures, obstacle course running, building sandcastles in the sandpit, bobby car races, football, etc., which we enjoyed just as much as the children themselves, project life in Okakarara has been up and running again since 11 January. The new school year, which always starts here in January, has now begun with the first of three terms.
The first few days saw the hundred little ones from nursery and preschool assigned to their new classes and getting used to the project routine, and by now everything is running almost like clockwork. In the soup kitchen, as usual, potatoes are being peeled, tomatoes puréed and traditional milliepap cooked for the many hungry people. For two weeks now, the afternoon care has also been taking place as usual. The current focus areas are times tables, reading aloud, adjectives/adverbs, pronouns. Things are also buzzing again in the „Arts Shack“: our new volunteer, Eva Maria Frey, has made small bags with the older children from fabric offcuts from the sewing room.
