Theron Mqhu began working as our new lab facilitator at the beginning of May.  Already he has brought something different to the party in that he has made appointments at the schools in Zwelihle and assured educators that he can train them using Xhosa for explanatory purposes.  A timetable has been established for him and we are also offering some time to OTI for the students in desperate need of literacy and numeracy support.  Two small groups of learners attend from Bosko, the Grade 12’s from Hawston and from Qhayiya also, maths learners from lower grades at Qhayiya have started attending, and the group from Haygrove will begin in July. Mr Msebenzi from Masakhane has asked for some help for a group of his teachers and Theron is making arrangements to fit in these 12 teachers.
