In our free time when Chris doesn't have class, we have been volunteering at Kingsway Christian School in a part of Johannesburg called Honeydew. We mentioned the school in an earlier entry, but it is worth elaborating on. We learned about the school from a Rotarian and began volunteering the end of February. Chris is splitting his time between the 1st grade classroom and the kitchen--hoping to spend more and more time in that kitchen--and I am in the 2/3 grade "remedial" classroom.
Over time Chris hopes to put his RD to use by helping develop a cycle menu for the school feeding program. At the moment I am helping out with routine classroom tasks, and hope to work with my classroom teacher to help connect her with some much needed classroom resources.
The students come from a nearby informal settlement, and are an absolute joy to work with. I am always amazed at their exuberance for life and their joyful demeanor. We will keep you all updated as we do more with the school.
