These are all things that ive heard international people say to me. When you think of south africa you think hot weather sun beaming down on you and your skin burning from the blue sky and flaming hot sun. however the reality is ... they still have WINTER ... 
Man oh man does it get cold.. mid day is beautiful hot summer weather but currently the evenings and mornings have a real chill to them and winter is defiently on its way...
A few of my kiddies go off site to school as they are old enough now. I went through there cupboards to find warmer clothes for them but I came up empty handed. So me and one of the managers children rushed to the shop that day and picked up a few warmer outfits and a coat for the older ones as they leave TLC bright and early in the morning when it is biterly cold. They are very appreciative of there new warm clothes and ask to wear there coats nearly every morning. Its nice to know that they aren't freezing for school anymore. We even treat them with a breakfast hot chocolate on the icy cold mornings and they love this ... they are so grateful it melts your heart. None of this would be possible without all of your genorosity so thankyou from me and the kiddios.
Not only is it cold when the kiddies leave for school but also in our cottages. Ive woken up on many a night in my tracksuit hoodie fluffy socks and two blankets with numb frozen feet. Our cottage is made of wood and as of yet hasn't been insulated so it feels like your outside. Thankfully I have people who love me this side who made me a bean bag for the microwave so I can stay warm for a bit longer. Waking up in the morning is such a struggle when you have to get out of bed. But we do it for the kiddies because we all love them sooo much.
we levelled out the ground at TLC then the heavens opened for a few days so as you can imagine a few cars saw the worst side of the muddy ground...
