July 2010 – The Bookworm Competition, as part of the Big Vision Project, was a great success. The learners from Kleinmond Laerskool were the overall winners and their Principal, Mr. Huisamen, received the main prize of a website for the school and website-support for one year from Brainwave IT, service provider from Cape Town.

July 2020 – The Winter School, presented at the Enlighten Centre and at three schools for two weeks during the long school holidays, focused on teachers and learners from Grade 4-6. Teachers ran sessions for language, maths and science/technology. Training and reflecting sessions for the teachers have taken place. Even though the numbers of children attending classes were lower than expected at some of the schools, teachers indicated that they’ve benefitted immensely.

Enlighten used members of the community to prepare food for the hungry learners and teachers at the Zwelihle Primary School. The other schools did their own catering.

Staff, the community and students joined in to a session in the Enlighten Hall to learn the Diski Dance. Much fun was had.

We hope that all the goodwill and funding that have been spent on World Cup efforts, will have positive spin-offs in so many of our poverty stricken communities. May the spirit of goodwill and cooperation continue long after the Cup has gone!

Several songwriters’ workshops for young people by a visiting Australian musician (who has done this on a purely voluntary basis) were held and were most successful.

The last official event of the year was the Family Literacy Workshop held at the Centre for Early Childhood Development on 3^rd December. Shelley, Ntozi and Lois attended.
