Welcome back to
THRASS GOES LIVE! and the next stage of our exciting journey from MPUMALANGA to
MILTON KEYNES.
Follow our journey
by tuning in to our regular videostreams from locations in South Africa and the
UK. See how quickly children learn as they use THRASS and see how impressed the
party of educators from the UK, Ghana and South Africa are.
On Day 2 of the
educators’ visit to the Kwena Basin we see some of them teaching children at
Umthombopholile and Impala schools. And we also hear some really nice singing:
first when Vicky Meadows from Cardiff sings the children at Umthombopholile a
Welsh love song and then when we hear the children at Impala singing their
assembly songs.
The educators are
all really amazed at the children’s rate of progress and at their potential for
learning. They are also very moved by the children’s enthusiasm and thirst for
learning, particularly at Impala where the school has only the most basic
facilities but which they describe as a magical place. One of them tells us how
she feels as though she is on an emotional rollercoaster: one moment so
heartened by the children’s enthusiasm and then the next plunged into despair
because there is so much to do and yet she has so little time there.
And it not just the
children who are quick to learn, the teachers are too and because they are
really involved in the lessons translating for the children they really feel
part of the team.
On Day 3 we shall
again see the educators at Impala but also at Phakama and Spoelklippies schools.
