Orange Farm The project planned by the Technical University of Vienna was the third of its kind to be undertaken in Orange Farm by this university. Since 2004, Mr Peter Fattinger has acted as the project supervisor where students from this university built a multi-purpose house at Masibambane College that year. In 2005, Michele Riedmatten and Cornelius Pfeiffer were brought on board for the project to build additional facilities at Modimo O Moholo.In February 2006, students from this university came to South Africa to build a preschool in Orange Farm to facilitate an existing preschool, The Emmanuel Day Care Centre run by community member Mrs Lindiwe Andrina. Through its contacts in the community, she was introduced to Education Africa and Masibambane College and then to the University by the Department of Social Affairs. The pre-school facility consists of an office, kitchen, sanitary facilities, two big classrooms and a rest area. It was completed in early March. Lindiwe Andrina now uses the facility to look after 60 children during the day. These children live in shacks in dire poverty and used to attend pre-school in such a shack. Soft and educational toys have also been distributed to this new preschool facility.
