<\/a><\/p>\nFounded in March 2011 by Friends of Thandi, a British based charity organization that donated a prefab building, with furniture, books and all amenities including a copier and a telephone, the goal of the Thandi Community Cr\u00e8che is to care for children from the community while their parents are at work. The cr\u00e8che receives an annual donation from FNB W2W to cover their operational expenses. This year the donation amounted to R20 000.<\/p>\n
According to Elizabeth Van Wyk of the Thandi Community Cr\u00e8che, currently the cr\u00e8che has three caregivers that take care of twenty-one children. \u201cThe children vary in age from three months to five years. We are open five days a week. The children arrive at 06:40 and have Freeplay until 08.00 when they have their breakfast together in the big play room. Afterwards everybody returns to their classrooms where they follow a daily program that makes provision for morning ring, educational ring, music ring, story ring, outside play and nap time. They also have two snack periods as well as a lunch period before they go home the evening.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Cr\u00e8che benefits tremendously from the support received from FNB W2W,\u201d continues Van Wyk. \u201cWe were recently able to purchase a computer as well as a microwave. We would appreciate it if the community could participate more actively in our fundraising events and help us cheer at the FNB W2W MTB events in November.\u201d <\/p>\n
Situated in the Lebanon Village, FNB W2W MTB participants will pass by the Thandi Community Cr\u00e8che during stage two of each FNB W2W MTB Event (Adventure, Ride and Race).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
