Chibanhane Local School - Massinga Mozambique

While I was in Mozambique recently I had the honor of seeing a local school Chibanhane. Massinga Beach a lodge in Mozambique has made this one of their development projects and has built them a classroom. They are busy raising more funds to build a second classroom. On this outing they were distributing free colouring books and crayons to the kids as well as supplying a whole lot of books for their library.

The smile and happiness of these kids for receiving this small gift was amazing, its a small reminder of how fortunate we are and how a small gesture can make others less fortunate than us so happy. This was an emotional day and I was again reminded of the harsh conditions people in Africa live in. 

Should you wish to help and contribute a small donation to this school to help build a second classroom please email me on sean@qmunicate.co.za  so I can send you there banking details.

This is the classroom Massinga Beach built for the Chibanhane School.

Inside the classroom no desks or light, the light you see is from my flash.

A small donation goes a long way!

Apache, a Great Dane puppy.

Three months ago, our friend's Great Dane, Nguni, gave birth to 12 puppies in Durbanville. I got to photograph Apache one of the male puppies that they kept, quickly in between my daughter's tennis matches. What a gorgeous puppy!

Apache!

Sailing in style with family and mates.

Finally getting a chance to update my blog. Last Boxing Day we decided to go sailing with friends for a couple of hours from the Waterfront in Cape Town to Clifton and back. We all met up at the Radisson hotel for our Trance Atlantic adventure, from there we boarded onto a 40 foot luxury catamaran which my mate Allan builds for a living. Jo really helped me out by offering to take some pics with my camera, thanks Jo. Thanks to all that made it such an awesome day, no better way to spend Boxing day on the sea on a luxury catamaran, with family, good friends, great tunes and a couple of cold ones. Thanks Allan for taking us sailing!
