On day 1 of week 2, Our ECD caregivers were exploring the Pedagogy of Play, transforming classrooms into fun, impactful spaces! Nearly 40% of SA children lack early education. We’re empowering teachers to integrate play into learning. #ECDTrainings

We made space. Not because it was easy β€” but because young minds showed up hungry to learn. Today, with @SawabonaAfrica, we opened our 4th classroom. From one room to a movement: powered by community, fuelled by purpose. Phakamani is rising! #ThisIsWhatHopeLooksLike
