Erika van Dorssen (Chairlady) and the kids of Smashblock Crèche.

AMANDELBULT – During the months of September through November, the Thusano ladies ensured yet more upliftment in their local community.

The Thusano Community Forum has established relationships with three crèches in the Smashblock Community and on 20 October 2011 these crèches were enriched with their own colourful Jungle Gums for the kids. This was received with great joy and the whole community watched as the children played till late that evening. The purpose of these Jungle Gyms is to ensure greater Motoric development among the children. Each child also received an ice-cream as part of celebrating their new Jungle Gyms.

November is Children’s month and the Thusano Ladies organized an “Activities Day” at the crèches in Smashblock and Rethabile. The children had tons of fun while learning new Drama skills, decorating their own cupcakes and making their own painting with only food colouring and ear buds.

Lastly the Principal of Chromite Primary School in Smashblock approached Thusano Community Forum for sponsorship and support for their Gr 7 Farewell on Friday 18 November 2011. With the help of Anema Denton who sponsored the food and drinks, Anglo Platinum Tumela Mine that ensured the kids arrive safely at the Kloof Resort in Rustenburg and Protea Coin that paid for the children’s entry fees, Thusano Community Forum was able to help these Gr 7’s have an unforgettable Farewell. The Forum would like to thank these respective sponsors for their contribution.

Any ladies living in Amandelbult that are interested in joining the Forum are welcome to phone Erika van Dorssen (Chairlady) at 082 7000 514.
