ST Marys’ Interactive Learning Experience programme, S.M.I.L.E has been given an additional boost by a R5000 donation from Setzkorn Health and Wealth Consulting.
This donation, which was initiated by the Rotary Club of Kloof, will be used to buy Grade 6 S.M.I.L.E Readers for Ntakamazolo School in Inchanga whose Grade 5 learners participate in S.M.I.L.E. This means that the children benefitting from this year’s interactive learning programme at St Mary’s, will have resources available in the new year to continue building their English language skills.
According to Daniela Browne, the Grade 11 St Mary’s girls who run this English language skills programme every Tuesday afternoon throughout the year benefit as much from this outreach project as those they are helping.
“While the Grade 5 IsiZulu speaking children grow in confidence through speaking and writing English, the Grade 11 tutors learn how to nurture and grow the incredible potential which these children have.”
In addition to this donation, S.M.I.L.E is the main beneficiary of The Rotary Club of Kloof ‘s 30th Durban Pops in association with the KZN Philharmonic Orchestra and soloists Lauren Laing, Shylo Pereira and Wayne Mkhize on Saturday, 16 November at the Durban City Hall. Setzkorn Health & Wealth is the co-sponsor of this event, while Adapt IT is the main sponsor for the sixth year in a row. To book tickets for this glamorous event visit www.webtickets.co.za.
