In the year we built a school extension in Ennerdale, Gauteng, South Africa. The project used local labour to undertake all the initial building works up to roof height. A team of volunteers from the UK erected the very large roof and completed all internal and external finishes, including doors, windows and classrooms. In addition, refurbishment works were carried out at two other orphanages as well as minor maintenance works at other orphanages. We continued with our ophthalmic volunteer team from the UK who carried out in excess of 500 eye tests suppling spectacles to all participants. This scheme is of significant impact to the local community mostly who have never been assessed for spectacles. Our annual feeding program in two squatter camps continues to feed several thousands of children. ## **Financial Review** The balance sheet shows a bank balance of c£21.5K. ## **Plans for Future Periods** The charity will continue with its South Africa projects, offering support to orphanages through funding and its volunteering programme, as well as supporting a number of other projects.
