“The aim was to help them cope with the devastating impact of the virus as far as their schoolwork is concerned,” said Inkhosikati laMdluli of the Royal BakaNgomane Foundation, which has adopted the school. She said the challenges caused by the pandemic included a lack of resources and limited access to the Internet.
“Children from affluent schools in the capital city enjoyed online lessons via Skype or Zoom since the beginning of the pandemic. We had to do something to assist, so we worked with a group of different sponsors whose contributions truly offered a helping hand in this regard,” laMdluli continued.

She said some children found it difficult to work in isolation because of intensive household duties. “The camp was a necessity and we have seen great improvements.”
The sponsors included Penreach, Trellidor, Spilamart Training, Bonnie Africa Development, Khosithini Artisan Training and TFO. laMdluli stressed that during this programme, Covid-19 regulations such as wearing face masks and social distancing were adhered to
