Training in Parkside, Port Elizabeth.

I have been a little quiet lately, but this does not 

mean that I have been sitting quietly.

Last Saturday I trained 20 people in Parkside, Port 

Elizabeth with the Sophakama Tutor Programme Material.

They were actually people from all over the Northern 

Areas that were recruted under the leadership of 

Felicity Malgas and the Church of the Nazarene in 

Parkside.  I was impresses by the quality, passion and 

vision of the 20 tutor trainees.  It excites me to 

think what could happen if all of these women starts 

to tutor children that struggles with reading and maths. 

I know for a fact that there is a great need for such 

tutors in the Northern Areas. In a community where 

drugs, gangsterism, violence, unemployment, etc. are in

the headlines, there are also churches, parents and 

community members who are willing to invest in 

childrens' lives.  With every child that learns to read

and therefore succeeds in school the hope of a better 

future lights up.

Programme in your community.
