Makeover for Thembalesizwe Crèche

Members of the ward committee for Aberdeen (ward one) got together last Saturday to brighten up the lives off the youngsters who attend the Thembalesizwe crèche. Everyone contributed towards a supply of paint, and the members, together with councilors Desmond Coetzee and Thembisa Nonnies, a community development worker and a helpful member of the community set to with brushes and paint.

The original cartoon figures on the walls were badly in need of touching up, as they were badly faded, and the interior walls were also freshened up with a new coat of paint. The group spent most of the day on the project, and were justifiably proud of their efforts at the end of the day.
