CHILD AND LIBRARY PROJECTS

During the course of this year we maintained the internet café, daily newspapers, Learning Chanel Study Guide DVD’s, trophies for school debates, the annual Christmas Carols for the kids and a Woman’s Day event.

Christmas Carols and Entertainment

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 Christmas Carols and entertainment from a local group. 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 Café and Supplementary Computer Room

The internet café 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 café 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; and our teachers and staff who give of their time to uplift others.
