Full circle.... what goes around.....a lovely coincidence

Dimpho, on the far left, with his friend Buhle Roto ( in grey, far right)  in 2008

Maurita Glynn our Founder Director, met Nontsikelelo, one of our 2008 Shine parents from Observatory, last week at a lecture she was giving at UCT. Coincidently, she is doing an Honours class with Carrie Maschek, our Outreach programme manager. Carrie found an old photo of Dimpho, (above) and sent it to Nontsikelelo, who relaid the most wonderful memories of her son Dimpho's time at the Shine Centre.

"Carrie,You have a good memory. Dimpho was always into art and is still fond of drawing. His friend was Buhle Roto, (pictured) and they used to go together to the Shine Centre from Miss Semetu's class. 
(When I asked him yesterday about the Shine Centre) he says he remembers that at first it was very difficult for him to read, and he said he would sometimes ask Buhle for help. According to him, Buhle was sharper than him! He is now in Grade six, and he is doing very well except for mathematics, but overall he is ok!

 Thank you

 Kind regards

Nontsikelelo."

This kind of feedback is very precious to us, and we hope to have more accounts as we become more able at tracking our students.
