Back to school with Mellon Educate. What a privilege to see the impact that the volunteers are having in Khayelitsha. Not just building physical schools but in follow- through in local literacy and numeracy programs. Beir bua!

8/12 for handwriting while the kids at my table scored 11/12! Back to the basics for me Mellon Educate in Cape Town.

Busy bees on site 🐝 the dedication of our Volunteers every year is truly inspiring. Have you been inspired to join us next year?

Our volunteers had the honour of being invited to a home visit of some of the families of learners in the primary schools we are building in this week. We are so touched by the difference we can make to the lives of our learners.

Time flies when you’re having fun. The build is looking fantastic 🤩 Stay tuned for the hand over tomorrow. Always an exciting and emotional experience. #buildingblitz2023 #buidlingblitz #charity #literacy #volunteer #makeadifference #melloneducate #education

The volunteers are working away painting and putting that magic touch on what will become beautiful classrooms. We’re so excited to see it all come together. #painting #charity #buidlingblitz #buildingblitz2023 #volunteer #literacy #makeadifference
