We arrived at Alpha bright and early together with Heather (Kelli's mom) , Ros and Colleen. These 3 ladies together with Val, Jen and Kel hit the classrooms and sports field to give their final classes for the week. The kids really enjoyed the activities the teachers prepared and the moring flew in. John, Fergal and Karen worked extremely hard to try and finish the staffroom renovations.
At 11:30 we attended the assembly where the kids sang for us and thanked us so many times for uplifting their school and coming to teach them. We felt extermely privilaged to have been involved in this project.
We then officially opened the new staffroom and enjoyed a delicious meal with the staff.
Many tears were shed as we said goodbye to the children with whom we had formed such special bonds.
That evening we (together with Heather, Ros and Colleen and Michelle Brussouw) hosted a cocktail party to thank all the companies and sponsors who have helped us achieve our vision for Alpha.
Our MC Marius was fantastic and the speeches and votes of thanks were well received. The food was delicious and the evening was a fantastic culmination of the project.
Thank-you again to everyone who has contributed towards the ALPHA PROJECT 2009 we have had the most rewarding and emotional week of our lives.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!
ALPHA TEAM 2009
