Worldwide Literacy

With the help of an ABSA donation, Marieta Groenewald, a farmer’s wife in the Free State town of Clocolan, purchased some of SmartBrain's reading and mathematics programmes and requested SmartBrain to train some of her school's teachers.
Marieta Groenewald, founder of the Lethoteng community centre, who successfully implemented many charity projects, converted an old warehouse and outbuilding into a classroom school. There are no flushing toilets or electricity. Because the need is so high and the teachers have not received formal training, teachers have to be trained to offer proper education, says Groenewald.
Two of SmartBrain's facilitators, Mr Brand van Dyk and Ms Celia Albasini van Dyk trained three teachers and the principal at the Imla Guest House, for four days, just outside Clocolan. The teachers' task is great because, although many of their learners are teenagers, they have not mastered the basic skills of reading and mathematics. Some of them are 14 years old and have not even held a pen in their lives.
The SmartBrain facilitators quickly found out that the Lethoteng School is a place for volunteers. It was told to them that 106 children attend school every day because they want to. Ten people work at the school, also because they want to. There are no salaries. The teachers support because they love helping these children. They are unemployed people whose only reward is often the progress that their learners make. None of them are qualified teachers, but they share their basic knowledge of love and dedication so that the children can learn to read, write and do sums.
The pupils of the centre are street children, orphans, gum sniffers and beggars. Crime for many of them will be a logical step in the battle for survival. They are the Free State's throw away children. Some of them have mothers who are prostitutes from Lesotho who never registered their children. They cannot go to school anywhere, because no South African school wants to accept a child without a birth certificate. Until recently, these children were nameless citizens of a no-man's land without hope.
It is a great privilege for SmartBrain to get involved with such a project. Because the SmartBrain programs are so logical, with detailed lesson plans to strengthen the hands of teachers, we could feel the excitement in their tone and responses during the learning sessions. Finally, there is a program, they believe, that can be used to great effect on these children.
SmartBrain is confident that these discarded children will quickly make progress with the help of their program. It has been proven over and over again that a good phonetic basis helps a child with reading, spelling and writing, regardless of the environment in which he or she grows up. As soon as a child starts reading, their vocabulary expands which helps them to read with greater understanding.
Thanks to ABSA and Marieta Groenewald, for their foresight to give these throw away children a meaningful life.

Baie lekker om sulke terugvoer te kry.

Die seuntjie is Gr1 en is nog net vir n kwartaal by ons.
