What an incredible start to the year! 🎉 Carter’s Book Club kicked off 2026 with a day full of laughter, energy, and wonderful moments together. We were so excited to welcome many new members into our book club family. It was a fantastic time of getting to know each other, sharing smiles, and celebrating the start of another great year. The day was packed with fun activities — from lively ping pong games to dancing and so much more! The room was filled with joy, music, and lots of laughter as everyone joined in the excitement.

A DAY AT THE ARMY @ Carters
On Saturday, 13 December 2025, Carmen visited the School of Armour with several children from the centre. The group was warmly welcomed by Capt Luriska Jooste, Adjutant of the School of Armour, and taken on a guided tour of the unit by Capt Jooste and Sgt Mpho Mokhele, Acting Communication Officer of the School of Armour. Throughout the visit, members engaged with the children in a spirit of respect, discipline, and professionalism. The children had great fun and was in awe of what they have learnt. Thank you to the SANDF School of Armour for hosting Carter's Diabetic and Edu-Care Centre.
SA Flag Creation @ Carters
You'll never guess what we've been up to! Our little team got together for a super fun project: building the South African flag with a rainbow of plastic bottle caps. The room was buzzing with excitement as we pieced it all together. The best part? We shared the wonderful story behind our flag and what each of its colours represents. So much joy in one colourful afternoon!

A Sprouting Success: Our Green Project Day!
What an incredible day we had on Saturday, October 25th, 2025! The Carter's Book Club was buzzing with excitement for our special Green Project, where we dug into the wonderful world of plants.
Our young learners discovered just how powerful plants are—not only do they beautify our community spaces, but they also clean our air and bring people together. The highlight? Getting our hands dirty to plant vibrant chilli trees! The enthusiasm was contagious, and everyone had an absolute blast.
The adventure doesn't end there! Each budding gardener proudly took their very own chilli tree home. We can't wait to see their weekly growth updates, as this ongoing project will beautifully reveal the magic and wonder of nature, right before our eyes. Watch this space for updates on our little green wonders!
Library Launch - 2025
It's official! Our hearts are bursting with joy as we celebrate the grand opening of our brand-new Library in Bloemfontein, Free State! This is more than just a building; it's a vibrant hub of learning and dreams, right in the heart of our community. Our learners now have a world of knowledge at their fingertips, unlocking boundless opportunities for their future growth. A massive, heartfelt THANK YOU to Oxford and AVBOB for their incredible generosity—these books are gifts of knowledge that will inspire for generations to come!
