Help me to do it on my own! - Words from: Maria Montessori
Dear Miss, dear Mister
I would like to introduce myself:
My name is Elvira Greeff. I’ve studied at the Kindergartnerinnenseminar from 1998 to 2002. I had my first contact with the underprivileged quarter, also known as the Townships, during a practical in Cape Town (South Africa). The misery is frightening, the joy and gratitude at the same time encouraging to help.
This is how it began:
After my first stay in Cape Town, my friends from school and I went to sing on the street and with great success we collected money for the schools in the Townships. The children and the teacher made a list of their needs. As I came back to Cape Town I wanted to spend the money on as many things as possible, the things that were missing and really important for them to have. I was surprised how much you can change with just a little.
This is how it went on:
I’ve found my country, family/friends and my task. On the 31.12.2002 I left Switzerland to live and work in Cape Town. I would love to keep on supporting the children, but I am dependent on the help from Switzerland, and of course any other person who wants to help.
| The Project
What: school (class) takes care of a school/class in the townships of Cape Town How: collect money with operations like: streetmusic, cake-sales, candle- and wreath-selling, carwashing, race sponsors and much more. You will hear from me about any changes. Letters, drawings and photos will touch your heart and show you the progress. When: ANY support is valuable. But it’s your choice when you want to help. For example every 6 months. Guarantee: I have lived in Cape Town since the 31.12.02 and visit the Townships on a regular basis, checking what the needs are at the schools. I go and buy the things myself and each and every collected coin goes into the school. |
If you’re interested or for more informations please contact me.
Yours sincerely
Elvira Greeff
