Cunina opens new classrooms in Eshowe South Africa
In January, Cunina traveled to the community of Eshowe in South Africa with a delegation of project sponsors for a festive event. The local primary school was being expanded with three brand new classrooms. The classrooms offer room for 110 pupils between 12 and 15 years old.
A Belgian film crew traveled with Cunina and filmed a twofold documentary on the inauguration of the new classrooms and the aids issue.
It was a colourful inauguration celebration. The 326 pupils from the Muntuyedwa school got new school material, a T-shirt and a warm meal. Cunina ambassador Sabine De Vos taught the first English lesson in the new classrooms. In his speech, the mayor of Eshowe emphasized the importance of education as a way out of poverty.
Cunina has been active in South Africa since 2002 with individual fosterships and is at the moment working on a durable project for orphans, next to the inaugurated classrooms. With this project, Cunina wants to provide a suitable answer to the reigning aids issue. The active population is dying at an incredible speed and is leaving many children parentless. The children that are brought into the project will be able to go to school in the new classrooms in the future.
