Secure

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.
