"Welcom, Wamkelekile, Welcome"

To kick off the school holidays, I brought some of the kids from the DFC after school group to Rocky Road, the headquarters of the volunteer organization WWISA. We spent an afternoon there constructing a Welcome sign for the village out of recycled materials - old broken ceramic tiles, left over paint, and an old discarded wooden board. The kids had a fun time learning some new things, spending time with eachother, and creating something beautiful that they can be proud of. The sign will be displayed at the first entrance of their village (once I'm done putting several coats of sealer on it to water-proof it).
