It is always refreshing to meet someone who has no desire to
pretend and also has an understanding of themselves and the
value they bring in terms of their work. Last week I had my first Tutor Training in Cradock. I am
going to help the ACVV to start an After-care Tutoring
facility, so they send two ladies that are going to be
tutors with me there. It was one of these ladies that
inspired these positive thoughts in me. It is so good
when people are secure in who they are. It is then when
they can contribute and play their part in society.
Every person's contribution is unique and valuable.
May that be an inspiration to each one who reads this blog. I am also looking forward this week to a meeting that I
am invited to on Sunday 4 February 2018 at the Anglican
Church in Lingelihle, Cradock. Like-minded people are
going to come together there to discuss together how
Education can be advanced in the community. Fr. Zweli Tom
has also asked me to say a few words to introduce the
Sophakama Tutor Programme. I hope that I am able to
communicate the potential that the STP has to give hope
again to children that have lost hope to be educated and
have a bright future. In November 2017 I finally did do training in Pellsrus
Primary School. 7 Ladies attended the training in 2
sessions. I am still in communication with the school
and hope to do a follow-up in March. I feel it is
important to persist in this relationship for the sake
of the children in need. May you also be encouraged to continue the good work
that you are involved with. It is crucial even if you
don't see change soon. Evelyn (growing roots in Cradock, Karoo)
