We are thrilled to announce that, after months of construction, storm repairs, and a tremendous amount of hard work, the exterior of the Molo Mhlaba Montclair campus classrooms were successfully completed in late fall 2023. The milestone was celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, signifying the official conclusion of this phase of the school's construction and the successful fulfillment of our $50,000 grant to build the classrooms. With this phase now completed, the next critical step is to furnish the classrooms.
Our community is deeply connected to the positive impact of this school and has expressed a strong desire to continue supporting Molo Mhlaba in its mission to welcome students. In recognition of our commitment, Kids First awarded Molo Mhlaba an additional grant to cover the costs of furnishing the classrooms and providing Montessori classroom learning materials.
The Cultural Care Au Pair offices spread love to Montclair, South Africa by hosting a Valentine’s Day fundraiser. During the week of Valentine’s Day, we sold candy-grams – Valentine cards containing a sweet note and some chocolate – across offices in Austin, Boston, Denver, and Zurich. Simultaneously, our Berlin office hosted their version of this fundraiser through a waffle sale. We successfully reached our collective goal of raising $2,500! Cultural Care Au Pair matched this amount, contributing to the full $5,000 grant.
We are grateful for the success of this sweet fundraiser as it enables the provision of classroom materials that will enhance the learning environment for the girls. Join us in spreading the love! Consider donating to Kids First today.
