On this #inspirationalWednesday "When educating the minds of our youth, we must not forget to educate their hearts."
Leliebloem House Education Campaign is of paramount importance as our learners have to firstly cope and readjust their mind sets as to where they find themselves; removed from family and everything they know. They are often in a deficit due to lack of basic fundamental principals such as literacy and numeracy and are further challenged with ADHD, Dyslexia and Foetal Alcohol Syndrome.
Our 60 learners attend 17 different schools. We are blessed to have 53 learners exempted from paying school fees for 2022. This is a god send which leave us with needing to secure funding for 7 learners... And then each individual child has a stationery list and school uniform requirements which we need to source. We welcome your support in any of the following ways... for more info on how you can assist please contact Carla or Ayanda on 021 6974947 or email [email protected]
