Township Stories and Realities - Two weeks and still levelling up

 

Two weeks since the reading corner opened: 41 children have borrowed a book, and 9 have brought one back asking for the next level up.

Alongside that, the kitchen served 1,060 meals this week, with about a third of the vegetables coming from Tshepo's Tuesday market runs. 

The corner is still modest: two shelves, one rug, and a book log kept in a school exercise book. 

That log is how we know which titles get borrowed most and where the gaps are. 

Right now the biggest gap is picture books in Sesotho and isiZulu. 

We'd rather tell you that plainly than pretend the shelves are full.

Want to see the book log or this week's meal numbers in full? 

Send us a message and we'll share them.

Township Stories and Realities - Katlego At the Holiday Club

 

Katlego's first week at the holiday club ended with her teaching a younger girl how to hold a paintbrush properly.

A week ago she wasn't sure anyone would notice if she didn't come. 

By Friday's showcase, she was the one explaining the art project to a five-year-old, patient in a way that surprised the volunteers who've known her all year. 

Gogo Beauty's stew is finished, the parcels are delivered, and Sizwe's already planning next week's activities. 

The gap the school holidays leave behind isn't gone, but for one week running, it's been covered.

One more week of holidays to get through. 

Sponsor a day, donate supplies, or share this post—every bit helps close the gap.

Friday and Another Week filled with challenges

 

Whatever this week asked of you, you found a way through it. 

That's worth pausing on.

It's been a fuller week than most—a holiday club finding its feet, a parcel drive wrapping up, and a feeding scheme project that needed extra hands and extra vegetables. 

Not everything landed perfectly, and that's fine. 

Before the weekend takes over, it's worth naming what actually worked: a bakkie that started on the third try, a stew that fed sixty, and a kid who came back for a second day running.

Name one thing that went right for you this week. We'd like to hear it.
