Countdown to the Tshepo festival begins


The last few days before the Tshepo festival are full of excitement and anticipation, but also lots of frantic activity as everyone pulls together to make sure all is in place for December 11.

Following the clean-up day last week, Munsieville is neat and tidy in readiness for the festival, and all the behind-the-scenes organisation this week will ensure that the community enjoys a day to remember.

Stars decorated by schoolchildren in the UK are on their way to South Africa to be hung on the Christmas tree, kindly donated by the Parks Department. Tubs of facepaint donated by PnA will mean that the children of Munsieville can be decorated too!

The members of the Thoughtful Path hubs have been meeting to plan all the events for the Tshepo festival, so that it is a successful day that also has a lasting impact on the community. The 'Right to Care' organisation will be providing HIV testing and counselling, and there are several other health and sports activities planned.

It's not too late to make a donation towards the festival at http://www.projecthopeuk.org/ - and check back next week for news and photos from the big day!

Thank you for your support.
