Village. The volunteers also tackled the palisade fencing around the area as well,
which had rusted in places. Some of the volunteers also spent time with the children
from the Early Childhood Development Centre at Oliver’s Village. Kitted out in their
traditional gear in celebration of Heritage Day, a public holiday in South Africa,
the children were only too happy to entertain the visitors! The Early Childhood
Development Centre cares for 120 disadvantaged children from the ages 1 to 5 years.
Many children come from families affected by the AIDS/HIV epidemic. TAHL ‘s relationship
with Oliver’s Village began early this year. Oliver’s Village currently manages
four social projects which include the Early Childhood Development Centre, Educational
Learning Centre, Computer Training Centre, the Agri-business, Home Bakery and other
enterprise projects.
