Today we share a transition within our team as Tracey steps down from her role within ARRC and as Director of Education in our childrenās programme in Selwane.
Tracey has been an integral part of building and shaping much of the work we do across ARRC, particularly within education and child development. Her leadership has introduced new learning areas and subjects that would most likely never have been explored otherwise, sparking curiosity, confidence, and ambition in the next generation.
Beyond education, she has also contributed significantly to wider ARRC initiatives. This includes driving fundraising efforts that supported essential equipment, helping develop the kitchen area for the Mohlathnatsi childrenās project, and contributing to the provision of meals for children. She has also been instrumental in creating opportunities that broaden the childrenās experiences and horizons, including educational outings and trips to see the Big Five, as well as exposure to secondary education pathways.
Tracey has been both a caring asset to the older generation we work alongside, and a steady influence in nurturing and inspiring the younger generation coming through. Her ability to connect across ages has been a meaningful and valued part of her contribution.
In addition, she introduced and will continue to support an important life skills and s*x education programme for young teens, helping provide age-appropriate knowledge, guidance, and confidence as they grow.
Her decision to step down has been made thoughtfully, in the interest of the greater good of the childrenās project and its continued growth. She will be expanding this work into other areas, carrying forward the same passion and purpose that have defined her time with ARRC.
While she will no longer be involved in a formal capacity within ARRC, our organisation remains committed to supporting the Selwane community as a whole and continuing to strengthen the foundations that have been built.
As a team, we want to sincerely acknowledge the impact she has made. Her standards, her drive, and her unwavering belief in what is possible for these children have helped shape a foundation we will continue to build on. These values will remain with us as we move forward.
Along the way, Tracey has also built meaningful connections with so many incredible people. The relationships, shared experiences, and memories created during this time will always remain part of the journey.
We are deeply grateful for her leadership, her time, and the care she has invested across ARRC. Hereās to the memories, the impact made, and the next chapter ahead.
