Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that a community-based early childhood development programme called "The Wonderful World of Kids" has been developed by the Benjamin Dube Foundation with the aim of establishing "Care Points" and "Preschool" centres in squatter camps and sites of low-income housing projects throughout South Africa;
2) further notes that the "Care Points" are meant to provide free preschool education, nutritious food, medical services and a safe environment for children to play and develop;
3) recognises that there is an urgent need in our communities to care for young children who are orphaned due to HIV/Aids, those who are poverty-stricken because of chronic unemployment and others in need of care because of the disintegration of family structures for many reasons;
4) further recognises that such a project had been a great success in Swaziland under the organisation "Children's Cup" and that in order to build and operate such centres, considerable sponsorship is required and is currently being sought; and
5) commends the Benjamin Dube Foundation for identifying the need and "stepping up to the plate" in providing this valuable service which will assist thousands of growing children and benefit communities for many years to come, and we pray that Almighty God will grant them favour, provision and protection.
Agreed to.
