Jumping with joy

There were lots of "happy jumpers" at Harare Library, thanks to a generous donation by Eskom Foundation who handed over two big jumping castles to Sikhula Sonke yesterday. It seems that not only kids enjoy jumping castles; we snapped photos of two of the Eskom delegates bouncing, as well as some of our staff. There's definitely nothing like a good jump to bring a smile to everyone's faces!
Did you know that bouncing, jumping and moving are extremely important to early childhood development? Learning to tumble and balance help important neural networks to form which help children later with spatial tasks and concentration. 
Thank you to Eskom Foundation for this wonderful, most useful and inspired donation!

Children dived onto the jumping castle to bounce, with many shrieks of laughter. 

After long day of jumping, Wandi, our Toy Librarian, relaxed the kiddies with a "Monkey Business" story. Today, we had more than 50 children for the Eskom handover of materials.

A riot of fun!

Zodwa, our volunteer intern, kept the other group busy on developmental activities, while other on the other side listening to the story and far at the back of the toy library, kids were enjoying jumping castles.

We caught Sindi relaxing after the last group finished their play in the new jumping castles!
