Please share and help Dramatic Rascals!

I started it with every bit of my savings and sadly, we are closing down with such a loss, I am only asking for people to help, share and donate if possible as we need so much help with closing down, paying the last months’ fees and shifting to another location to reduce the heavy rentals.

Thank you, everyone!

A non-profit education centre needing support from the community!

Our Holiday Programme’s peer reading. 📖

The benefits are profound. Reading Buddies allows younger readers to see what being fluent looks like as they have a peer model demonstrating reading skills; they can also acquire a positive role model with some intentional pairing.

The younger children pick the picture book, and the older children read to them. This also allows the older group to take on responsibility and be mentors to their younger peers.
