It is time for South Africa’s WSP Project!
Cedarwood Learning Centre
Exited!
There is no better word to describe how I feel today.
A couple of months ago I was asked if I would like to join the WSP Team (World Smile Project) and if I would be willing to run a project in South Africa. I immediately accepted as charity has been part of my life ever since I can remember.
With us moving to another province I asked for the project to be put on hold until we have moved. It is now two months since we have settled in the beautiful coastal town of Ballito. Today, I am ready to present my project to you.
As with so many countries in the world, the need in South Africa is big. Just to give some examples, there are currently +/- 9 million children which depend each day on the National School Nutrition Programme (NSNP) to provide them with food.
In many cases, this meal is also these children’s only meal for the day. We also had big floods early this year which left many families homeless. The shortfall of electricity supply is also one of our major problems.
There are many individuals, companies’ charity organizations, NGO’s, churches, etc. supporting numerous projects in my area. I could suggest that we support one of them.
One evening after watching a charity program on National Television, “Dankie Lottoland” a question crossed my mind. “How can one ever say thank you to everybody who contributed”. That is when it hit me.
For South Africa's first project, I would like to say thank you to “someone” who has made a difference in lives by supporting them in their needs. That is how I got to meet the founder and principal of Cedarwood Learning Centre.
Cedarwood Learning Centre is a school that operates on the 2nd floor of an office block. They receive no support or funding from the government. But, let me not spoil the founder’s fun.
Rather you read for yourself.
The work performed by these teachers is absolutely wonderful. They've transformed children with psychological problems by giving them a place where they feel loved. It is my wish that we can support them by fulfilling one of their dreams.
A dream to have a touch interactive whiteboard that will enable them to assist the children with learning disabilities in an easier manner.
Their requirement: 1 x Multi Touch Interactive Whiteboard
Cost: R 11 839 (South African Rand) = 3078 STEEM
I keep all fingers cross that this project will be approved and that we can go ahead to raise funds under the tag #smilesouthafrica.

It is good to see that you are planning to implement such a beautiful project. But I am especially moved that what better work can be done than to think about and stand by mentally challenged children.💕
Thank you my friend! I appreciate your support! ☕
Great post, resteemed and upvoted on @southernafrica
Thank you for presenting the WSP project for South Africa.
I am the one who must say... Thank you!!!
Count on me for what you need @patjewell, I come from a country where economic need prevails and I know how much need there is in children who need to have a little hope in their lives, so beforehand I want you to know that you can count on me despite geographical distance, is a good deed.
Awh! I got a tear in my eye!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!
This is what I'm waiting for, with the planning of this project, we hope to provide positive feedback on steemit in efforts to promote steem in south africa
Thanks
I agree my friend. I think this will open doors for us.
Thank you for you help and support!
I don't know with how many cups of coffee I will have to repay you.
Better I start now ☕
Beautiful work you dane it my dear friend. I really love it this kind of work.
Thanks for sharing with us.
Thank you for your kind words! ☕
You are welcome
We are glad that you finally presented the plan for the WSP South Africa Project, the target you chose was education for children, that was really amazing, my friend.
I'm sure, whatever form of support we will give later will make them feel more loved.
1 x Multi Touch Interactive Whiteboard = 3078 STEEM, this is not a little! but I believe that there is nothing that we cannot do.
Let's find a solution together and start doing it.
When I read a message like this as my first message of the day I cannot help to think that it is going to be an awesome day today! I am starting my day with a smile. Thank you!
Unfortunately these electronic/digital equipment is not cheap.
The cost from the supplier is 4,900 STEEM. We can get it at a discounted price from wholesaler which is helping a lot.
Good luck for your project - please tell us, when and how we can do something to help...!
Awh thank you!!!! I will for sure! 🎕
Good right the post and quality picture images all 👍
Thank you my friend!
It was great "hearing" from you! ☕
wow that was a great post.
Thank you! I appreciate your visit!
