Letter to Shine

Joan came to a Shine Centre Outreach Workshop earlier this year...


Dear Shine,



Sunshine Kids, located at Clarence Primary School in Greyville, Durban, proudly opened its doors for the first time yesterday to eight children and seven volunteers. It went even better than I dreamt it would.  The children settled in quickly, and after the session, they proudly showed their Learning Partners their classrooms. 


The volunteers seemed to love the whole experience, and even spent some time chatting with the four school teachers of the children with whom they worked. 

Then, to crown it all, the headmistress invited us to tea next week.  One of the volunteers went home and emailed everybody in her address book and I already have a meeting set up to train two more volunteers!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, for letting me share your brilliant programme and for all the support.
-Joan


It makes our hearts leap to read such a positive report. It just shows that with good training, and lots of effort and enthusiasm, great things can be initiated.
