With tax year-end coming soon, remember that donations to a registered PBO, like @BabyBoxProject, are tax deductible. All funds will go to making beautiful hampers & are given to needy moms in public hospitals. It makes a huge difference for the first few weeks of a babies life!

All @BabyBoxProject hampers include a little hand-knitted something. We have a wonderful team of grannies who knit for us (including my own 92 year old gran). Reader: there were shrieks of excitement!

So Gauteng now has less than 4000 active cases, and according to reports, over half of those are contained to hospitals. Safe to say things can start getting back to normal?
PROVINCIAL UPDATE 8 NOVEMBER • Changes from yesterday highlighted • 7 day average of new cases • New cases graph for EC From the total deaths reported, 1 occurred in the past 24-48 hours. Just over 45% of new cases reported today coming from Eastern Cape.

💔 It breaks my heart to see a teacher stick so closely and rigidly to procedure when this kid clearly has a robust conceptual understanding of what multiplication is.
