Heaters – it gets so cold in winter especially in tin shacks...
There has been a bit of a hiatus in my life – with me having a burst appendix and complications to do with that and it is a whole month since I have been able to do any real work. So that is the reason for the gap in the blogs.
I haven’t been out to the centres this month at all and hope to go out next week. I really want to see the results of the makeovers and what has happened at Rishile. I know that Sylvia and her husband have been hard at work there.
Winter is on its way – and the weather has really got quite cold. This means that the playrooms are freezing again. The fire hazard in metal structures is very real – the metal melts very quickly in a fire and is very dangerous. So one has to be very careful about what one puts in. I would like to be able to put small wall heating panels (the ones that are very energy efficient but still do help) into Rishile as they now have brick walls to put them on). I would like to get oil heaters for Entlantleni and Khanya – small ones so that they do not use too much electricity and become too expensive to run. Unfortunately at Bokomoso they don’t have electricity so they would need a gas heater which is so expensive from the gas point of view but it could at least run on the very cold days.
Anyone knows heating companies that might donate heaters to us? Or able to donate money or heaters to us?
