Each year at Ithemba, we celebrate the children’s graduation from the Creche (which is similar to our day car…it prepares the kids for school) to Grade R (which is like our kindergarten).  The kids get all dressed up in white dresses and graduation caps and gowns.  There is a ceremony and then a huge picnic at the beach!  The kids have so much fun and get to experience a real sense of accomplishment as they move to their next stage of schooling.  Ria just sent me a few pictures from the graduation ceremony this past week.   I don’t know if these kids could get any more adorable
