Progress to Date.







Ok. So it is now Feb the 18th, and we haven't posted on the blog since December. Anyone not ' in the know' would think we had been resting on our laurels, and having a leisurely summer holiday. We wish!

Since we last blogged we have as a team........ written two training manuals,one for the volunteers and one for the centre 'links,' revised and added to a curriculum with a remedial specialist, Elizabeth Nadlir Nir, made a training video,trained over 150 volunteers, re - designed our logo with the advertising organisation 'allbrandnoflakes,' are not charging us, started working with a PR company, Atmosphere, who are doing pro-bono work for us, designed over new 30 games, and made over 1500 copies for each of the centres, resourced and bought readers for our two new centres, OPENED 2 new centres in Cape Town, had five radio interviews between us. In addition,Maurita has been filming with a TV company over the last few days, we have had an article in the Big Issue, plus several other newspaper articles,negotiated a deal with Zonnebloem Boys and Girls school to take over a premises from the 1st of March, and done a huge amount of approaching companies for potential funding. Oh, and been given a free stand at the Corporate Social Investment ( CSI) conference in Jo Burg next month. That's all?!
