Chairs and Tables Shortages Hit Sophie’s Creche Hard

What’s wrong with this picture? Creche kids eating on the floors is reminiscent of the apartheid days when kids were forced to sit on the floor and eat their meals.

Sophie is trying to change that so kids understand they should eat meals sitting on a chair and at a table with bowls not plates. The bowls are necessary so the porridge doesn’t slip off the plate and burn the kids. Teachers stand close by to watch kids as they eat their meals.

Sophie is struggling and needs help to raise money to buy chairs, tables, and bowls for both the small and large classrooms so they don’t have to sit on the floor and eat their meals.

Government officials are not happy with this situation either and are giving her time to rectify this problem in both classrooms.
