Help2Read Team at Simondium High Tea

Over the weekend, the Help2Read team attended the Simondium High Tea. Help2Read sponsored the Literacy Tutors to participate in this empowering event for women.
They had the honor of being in the presence of a special guest, Dr. Nicolette Williams, who inspired us all with her message: “Anything is possible if you have perseverance.”

Let’s continue to uplift and empower each other! 🌟

Let’s uplift and empower each other to make a difference🌟

🧩 Riddle me this! 🧩

A father is about to bring his son to a job interview applying for a position at a large stockbroker's company in the city. Just as he arrives at the company’s parking lot, the son’s phone rings.
He looks at his father who says, ‘Go ahead answer it.’
The caller is the trading company’s CEO who says, ‘Good luck son, you’ve got this.’
The son ends the call and once again looks at his father, who is still next to him in their car.

As Nelson Mandela once famously stated, “When we read, we are able to travel to many places, meet many people, and understand the world.”

The Wineland Literacy Tutors recently commenced their help2read Back-to-Basics Training, a program designed to equip new recruits with essential skills in shared reading, writing, and engaging activities. The enthusiasm and receptiveness displayed by the new participants toward acquiring new knowledge and sharpening their abilities were truly inspiring. Through this training, these individuals are not only enhancing their own literacy skills but also contributing to the empowerment of the community. The Training Highlights of this week's sessions exemplified the impact that dedicated educators and motivated learners can have in creating a more literate and empowered society.

Training for our new participants at Ntwasahlobo Primary School was a truly engaging experience. The session was filled with interactive discussions, hands-on activities, and informative presentations to ensure that our new members fully grasped the core concepts of the program.

The new participants were actively involved in the training, asking insightful questions and showing eagerness to learn and grow within the program. The interactive nature of the session fostered a sense of community and collaboration among all participants, creating a supportive environment for learning and development.

Overall, the training session was a resounding success, setting a strong foundation for our new participants as they embark on their journey within the program. We look forward to witnessing their growth and accomplishments as they continue to engage with the program and take full advantage of the opportunities it offers.

The Groendal and Langrug ECD participants had a productive first day of training at the Nemisa IT Centre in Groendal.
