Dear Friend of Education Africa,
Hello to all of you and thank you for supporting our campaign. We are very grateful and will continue to work hard on our Alexandra Marimba Hub with your help.
A 30-hour training course was given at the beginning of July where an additional teacher from Alexandra was trained and another teacher attended for the second time to improve her skills. An upskilling workshop for the teachers is scheduled for the end of October.
At the end of June 51 children were recorded attending the Hub. Unfortunately, the Hub is situated in a public space open to all residents of Alexandra and we are still trying to find long term solutions to several challenges including storage and a suitable teaching venue that has minimum distractions. With your generous donations we can conquer these challenges and get more children to join the Hub!
Marimba playing offers emotional, physical and mental satisfaction for boys and girls and allows them to see their creative potential and increase their self-esteem. By keeping them occupied after school our Education Africa Marimba Hub program keeps the children off the streets and away from negative influences such as drug abuse, underage drinking and crime. With your help our Marimba Hub can positively impact up to 200 primary and high school children in the Alexandra community.
Thank you again for your support,
James Urdang
