Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
Our Literacy Centre was launched on Mandela Day, the 18th of July 2019, this Programme is a Social Franchise Model independently designed and supported by the Shine Trust. The Programme aims at providing individualized support to children in Grades 2 & 3 to strengthen their English reading, writing and language skills - while growing a love for reading. Trained volunteers assist children twice a week during the school day in a designated classroom. The Literacy classroom is located at Imekhaya Primary School, in the center of Kwanoqaba, Mossel bay where the community faces poor nutrition, violence, abuse, impoverished living conditions and illiterate care takers.
