CHILD AND LIBRARY PROJECTS
The work of the library continued to be hindered
during this past year when renovations to the
project section of the library was seriously
inhibited by delays in renovation work. We were
unable to access our children’s library and also the
Saturday classes were put on hold. This situation
was only rectified by City of Johannesburg at the
end of this reporting period.
Nonetheless the balance of the library had 100 to
120 visitors a day.
Little Champs by Siphiwe Kubheka
- Little Champs aim is to bring out champions
in every boy and girl between the age of 3 to 6
yrs old by developing their motor skills in a
fun, exciting and non competitive environment.
Our coaching focuses on the following: speed,
balance, agility, eye-hand/eye foot coordination
and spatial awareness.
- Literacy and Numeracy programme: The program
focuses on identification of letters, numbers
and pronunciation of letters or alphabets
- We have 16 crèches that are affiliated to
Little Champs this year and plus minus 800 kids
that we coach on monthly basis.
Christmas Entertainment and Carols
This year through the support given by Aristocrat
Technologies we were again able to add a Christmas
Event for the children of Alex. They had
entertainment from a local group and the annual
Christmas Carols. Small party packs of chips, juice,
lollipops, chocolate and a hot dog were given to all
the kids.
The Annual Christmas Carols take place every year in
the first week of December. It caters for the under
privileged children from around Alexandra. The youth
take turns to run the project and help in the
co-ordination of the event.
Educational Videos
The Educational Videos are still available to the
Matric students and Adult Education students.
Internet Caf?and Supplementary Computer
Room
The internet caf?has six stations and a server and
has been accommodating up to 30 people a day. The
internet connection also supports the advanced class
in the computer training studio when they do
Internet and E-mail.
Four computers are available in the supplementary
computer room. Where the internet caf?is used to
access information only, this room is used as a
practice room for students who have completed the
computer training course to enable them to keep
their skills up to date and do adhoc work. In the
afternoons the primary school children are also
taught the basics of computers.
Acknowledgements
We would like to thank Aristocrat Technologies for
their support in this section over this past year;
Little Champs for assisting with both training and
funding the Little Champs Programme and our teachers
and staff who give of their time to uplift others.
