Teacher Ruby led a wonderful session with the school leavers and 5 of our beneficiaries on Monday.

Using a basic pancake recipe, Teacher Ruby introduced the group to ingredients, equipment and various techniques while communicating in English, Xhosa and with Makaton.

She found a fun way for the group to collect everything needed to make the pancakes, with a reward for each item collected.🍭

Great session Teacher Ruby💚

This week, it was Mike's turn to plan a session for our school leavers programme.

The learners and beneficiaries prepared the soil by sifting sand and mixing it with compost before making a new bed for our cauliflower seedlings.

They were then taught to space, plant and water the seedlings.

Well done Mike, it was a great session and thank you Teacher Ntombi for your support.
