On Saturday we celebrated the 5th birthday of Wake up! and also the inauguration of the newly upgraded hall and playground. It was a joyous occasion with singing, dancing and cake, as well as heartfelt thank-yous to our sponsors and friends. We were happy to be joined by some of the children who previously attended Wake up! and are now in primary school and to hear from them how well they are progressing. After only 5 years, it is fantastic to see how Wake up! is already having a positive influence on the education of these young learners from Otjomuise.

We thank everyone who has helped us to reach this milestone. Particular thanks, at this time, were extended to the Pupkewitz Foundation and the New Apostolic Church for their generous contributions to the hall renovations, to Hans Mulder - architect and long-time friend of Wake up! - for his invaluable assistance over the years, and to Raymond, the builder who worked tirelessly to get the hall and playground ready.

We look forward to many more successful years!
