We are excited to share that we recently expanded our Children's Literacy initiative to include another group of 60 preschool children. In the process, we have also hired another 5 local, previously unemployed, youth to assist in teaching the children to read, write, and comprehend.
Your support is helping us to pilot this initiative and it's gaining a lot of praise throughout the community. We have had numerous principals contact us about expanding into their schools. Very exciting :)
We have also recently partnered with another NGO, Breadline South Africa, to build a new library at one of the primary schools we are partnered with. It should be up and running within the month and we'll be sure to send you lots of amazing pictures from the launch (and subsequent use of it).
We hope the photos of the children and the youth working with them put a smile on your face today. The kids progress is amazing and we're very proud to be able to tap into the local community (and create meaningful jobs) to offer our schools extra help.
Attached you'll find a few photos of the team and the kids at Seyisi Primary School in Kwazakhele, Port Elizabeth. Despite their neighborhood (Silvertown) was voted the worst place to live in South Africa in 2016, you're helping us bring positivity, hope, and change!
Very sincerely,
Jim & the Team
