About 14 years ago, residents of Atlantic Heights, an informal settlement in Ocean View, joined forces and created a preschool creche to look after their young children so that their parents could go off to work safe in the knowledge that their children were being well looked after. With the support of the Valley Development Project (VDP), some 105 children are fed, given lessons and cared for every day. The children each receive a cooked breakfast and lunch courtesy of the VDP and prepared by Roslene Jacobs. |
