The second creche in the Painting Creches series will be designed by Lauren Fowler. The teacher of Pakamani creche decided on the theme “Fruit and Trees”.
Painting will start in January 2011.

We’re elated to announce that the first of the 21 briefs has been sent out to the amazingly talented illustrator/designer: Warwick Kay. Warwick will be designing the exterior of Okhule Creche, managed by teacher Connie. The theme for Okhule creche is “Hope”. The designer has creative freedom to interpret the design in any way - with the condition that locally relevant elements are used for the interpretation.
If you would like to volunteer to help paint the creches in January 2011, send your name and contact details to xanele@writeonafrica.org to be added to our mailing list.

Last night myself and Xanele received our R100 000 grant at the SAPPI ‘IDEAS THAT MATTER’Awards dinner, for the Write on Africa Creche project:
The idea is to repaint 20 creches and print 2000 english/xhosa educational books for the children of Khaymandi with the help of 20 illustrators/ artists/ designers who will be designing the 20 creches. The creative community is joining forces to induce positive social change in the lives of many. The project will be executed within the first six months of 2011.
