As any person used to cats will be familiar with, it has not taken Ginger and Griffin long to decide they own the office. After their first few days at Hlanganani, they started to come out of their hiding places and explore, although they still go back into the shadows when students and parents come into the office.
This has actually been good for the students as it reduces their concerns while increasing their excitement about catching a glimpse of Ginger and Griffin. During break time the students are starting to hang around the outside of the office, asking a lot of questions about what Ginger and Griffin have gotten up to. They are starting to notice that Griffin is the explorer and Ginger likes to look pretty.
Ginger and Griffin have taken to sleeping by the computer, it is their favorite spot when students are not around. Finding these two curled up, without a care in the world, has added a nice dimension to my day, particularly as we are all running around, getting ready for final exams.
Thank you for your support in helping make this really fun yet important project happen, and for your help in passing the message that by bringing animal care services, combined with education, to rural Swaziland, together we can teach young children how to care for and enjoy the companionship of animals, thereby promoting the development of empathy in young children
