Dear Supporters,
As you may know, the educational landscape in South Africa is currently facing significant challenges. With a high student-to-staff ratio, schools have been forced to implement half-day schedules to accommodate all students. Even then, classrooms are crowded, with an average of 40-50 students per teacher.
In such circumstances, sports education often takes a backseat due to lack of resources and expertise. However, we firmly believe in the transformative power of education and sports in combating poverty and fostering community growth.
While education is a long-term investment, sports programs can provide immediate benefits. They stimulate the brain, promote physical health, and enhance classroom engagement. Although our project cannot solve the teacher shortage, we can maximize the limited classroom time these children have.
Despite limited funds, our dedicated team has been visiting primary schools to provide sports lesson plans for teachers. While this may not seem like much, it’s the best we can do with our current resources.
Looking ahead, we plan to launch bi-annual roadshows in 2023. These events will promote sports among children and provide training for teachers. Each participating school will receive a starter equipment pack. To make this initiative a success, we need to raise around $4,000 for an impactful outreach month.
We are hopeful that with your continued support over the next 3-6 months, we can reach this goal. Your contributions can make a significant difference in the lives of these children and their communities.
Thank you.
