A visit from Boston, USA

We received a very affirming letter from Sara and Bridget, two Boston public school teachers who spent a week in our Prestwich Shine Centre recently.

Dear Carrie, Kathryn and Trudy,

We are back in the US, and we just wanted to send you both a big thank you!  We had a wonderful experience in Cape Town and at the Shine Centre.  

Carrie, thank you so much for making our visit to Prestwich possible.  We learned so much from Trudy and from the kids.  It was so great for us to get our "hands dirty" and learn about how Shine works.  We have also been raving about the Praesa Book Club out at Langa as well.  What a great experience! It was a pleasure to meet you.

Kathryn,  thank you so much for taking the time to meet with us.  Lunch was delicious.  We learned so much from talking to you about how a programme like Shine can be started at any level.  We are excited to share our work with the teachers in Boston. 

Thanks again.  We look forward to keeping in touch!
Sara and Bridget
