Thankful Thursdays - Preschool Graduations

Dear Friend,

Preschool graduations in December are big in South Africa, perhaps especially in low-income communities where many parents cannot read themselves. It is a proud and festive time for graduates, their parents, and teachers.

Marlese, our ASAP coordinator in SA explains, “It is that ONE time your child gets to celebrate whatever growth and development he/she has achieved, before moving on to the next daunting phase of schooling. That one tangible moment for the parents to see and celebrate something of their hopes, dreams, and prayers.

The money made available by generous ASAP donors makes this day of celebration possible – NOT by giving funds for the robes and the concerts but making it possible for the children to receive a solid foundation through the toy libraries, before having to go to primary school.” Amen and THANK YOU!
