" Imagine... a South Africa where our vast potential of human capital is optimally developed- where every one of our children will enjoy the benifit of the best education and opportunities we can provide.
... but too many of our children are crammed into poorly lit containers with 60 peers, no desks to sit at and no proper reading or math skills taught to them.
I also have dreams of becoming a pilot, a doctor, and engineer, a teacher one day. But I don't see how this is going to happen where I live.
Now Imagine - a top school like Kingsway Christian School in Randpark that has provided top education opportunities for the past 20 years, willing to relcoate into my community.
Imagine a school like this within walking distance from my shack.
Imagine a school like this within walking distance from my shack.
Imagine a safe, caring environment where role models will journey with me from grade R to grade 12.
Imagine a sports field where I can play and learn about being part of a team and develop my skills.
Imagine a community taking hands and building a school where I can fufill my dreams. "
