Mid-January
I finally got round to going to Patensie. Irma Loots gave me the name
of a lady she knows in Patensie and that lady gave me the names of two
headmasters (one of a farm school and one of the Primary school in
town). So, on 18 January Anna Marie Franken and I took the road to
Patensie.
At the Primary school in town our meeting with the Principal came to the conclusion that I would train 3 of their staff how to use the Sophakama Tutor Programme material. This training will take place on Saturday 13 February.
As a result of our meeting with the headmaster, Martie De Beer, of the farm school, I am now on Thursdays tutoring their Grade 2 learners, who struggle with reading. Two or three ladies of this farming community will also receive training on the 13th at the Primary School in Patensie.
I am still waiting to commence tutoring in Humansdorp at the Child Welfare Aftercare.
In Port Elizabeth, my Sophakama Co-worker, Amore Strauss is continuing at the ACVV Poplar Ave. She has also started tutoring at Excelsior Primary School in North End.
Other than that, Amore is training hard for the Ironman. She is fundraising for Smile Foundation. If you would like to support her initiative you can go to www.givengain.com/activist/143980/projects/11113/
With compassion,
Evelyn
