Bethlehem Creche...

Hi my name is Jamila Akbarally,I am 13 year old. Previously I had been doing Prison Babies. We visited children who lived in the school of the prison since their mothers were in prison. The reason we changed our CAS was because the mothers were being moved to Kalutura , therefore their children as well were being sent with them. Now we have changed our CAS to the Bethlehem Creche. We visit children who dont have mothers and whoose fathers are in jail. The Creche takes care of them and provides them with most the resources they need. Thats why we help them by making sure they have everythig they need. On the 12th of March 2011 we put together a candy floss stall at our anual school food and fun fair. We earnt about 120 dollars, we are planning on using the money to help the Creche. We are not sure about what we are actually going to get for them, however we know it will be one big useful thing other than many small not so useful objects.
On the 3rd of Feburary we visited the Creche to see the Children and look around and think of ways to help them. They had a good amount of toys and chairs. However we thought that it was quite dark and we could some how provide them with more light. We got to socialize with the kids and talk to them. They seemed to have a great time. For the last to sessions of CAS we had intense meetings to organize things for the children and think about what we can do for them. We came up with: painting the play ground, providing them with a dvd player and some dvds, supporting the women who work there.
