Princess Caroline of Monaco arrived in Cape Town this weekend and visited a child care centre in Macassar which the principality has funded.

To show their appreciation the 3 and 4-year-old pupils of the Khanyisa Educare Centre sang to the princess and gave her flowers.

The princess ins on a two week trip through Africa in her capacity as president of Amade Mondiale (World Association of children’s Friends). It is a non-governmental, non-profit child advocacy organisation founded in 1963.

The organisation has donated R300 000 a year for three years.

A South African NGO, the centre for Early Childhood Development, is overseeing the construction of the projects and trains the teachers.
