this disadvantaged area, I decided to assist the community by opening up the day care with my social auxiliary experience,\u201d said Olyn.<\/p>\n<p>The day-care centre works with children from infancy to Grade Seven, as well as children with disabilities<\/p>\n<p>The annual school fees keep the centre running.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI applied for a financial grant two years in a row, but I was not successful,\u201d said Olyn<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have not given up hope because in the community the children are not safe in the streets, so they need care and education.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI strive with whatever I get every day and I do it from the bottom of my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The children enjoyed the rest of their afternoon as they enjoyed a meal and proudly sang the National
