Dear Father Gabriels

African Giggles Kindergarten opened its doors in June 2008. We felt that there was a fundamental need to create a school that was child centered, multi-racial and open to all members of the Stanford Community.

African Giggles is an approved Kindergarten by the Department of Education, (social Development.) It relies on 80% of its income from private sponsorships and gives the disadvantaged communities a better education, therefore a better start in life.

As you are aware, African Giggles School has been forced to close its doors after being operational for only 12 months due to THE BEA WHITTAKER TRUST and the Dampier family who have objected to the school operating from its existing premises.

Should the Whittaker family trust and the Dampier family withdraw their objection and permit African Giggles to continue operating from these premises, this would enable us to continue the good work and the excellent education we have thus far been giving to both the fortunate and disadvantaged children of the community.

Your assistance in this regard would be invaluable and much appreciated, as we believe your standing in the community could influence the respective parties to reconsider their objection, thus ensuring many children would continue to receive a proper education and keep them off the streets. It would also keep the staff employed and as the school grows, African Giggles will be able to enrich many more lives.

We would like to thank the local council and the community for their support and look forward to many more happy days and hopefully giggles at our school

Yours Sincerely

African Giggles Team
