Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.

Intellectual Needs and Education

The Child Development Centres either provide primary school education, or assist and encourage the children to attend local schools in their community. Being able to read and write opens a whole new world to them, and the results bring many smiles to the faces of theseyoungsters.

In the afternoons, volunteers in the centres supervise and help with the homework of the pupils, ensuring them a successful learning experience. As time progresses, we are establishing libraries in the various centres to further contribute to the educational process, providing valuable resource materials and literature.

Vocational courses are offered to various centres, providing training in agriculture, crafts, woodwork, computers, bakery and other trades. This lays the foundation for a secure future for many.
