Social Media Weekend

This weekend I am trying to wake up my social media connections.

I often wake up to a relatively cool but beautifully sunny day and think how lucky I am. This place is wonderful! But for many children life is a struggle.

I thought that the Jacaranda trees were about finished flowering, but WOW there are some immense trees in the garden full of their blue flowers – some falling to the ground covering it like confetti.

During the week I had another surprise visit. This time from Nancy and her mother. I had feared that I wouldn't see her this year because she was no where to be seen. So it was a great joy to meet up. I remember meeting Nancy when she was at a small pre-school on the edge of Monze – many years back! She had a special sparkle in her eye that caught my attention. The potential I spotted then has proved well founded. She knows what she wants and is determined to get there. She had problems at her last school which was some distance from Monze so she decided to come back home. she sold a few items she had to buy a new school uniform and some books and enrolled at a local school. She now wants to go to a boarding school not far away where she can study more! She is unhappy that she only has three hours of school at present “it's not enough”. She says she will become a nurse – no she doesn't want to be a doctor “I want to be a nurse”.

This weekend I am trying to GO VIRAL and help other children like Nancy achieve their dreams. This is our charity Facebook page Transformation Through Education

I will give brief updates throughout the day.
