"Where angels go to school..."

Last week I received an e-mail from a woman who is passionate about her work and the children. Riette Else, a trainer at READ had just come back from a school visit and in one the areas she had gone to, this is what she saw.

This is where the children at the Angel House day care centre spend hours of their day waiting for parents, siblings or relatives to pick them up after work.

These children are nothing short of miracles, wearing smiles on their faces day in and day out. We cannot all have the privilege of sending our children to the best schools with the best facilities, however, we can all make a difference in the lives of children own way or the other.

The trainers at READ have seen the worst of circumstance children are learning in around the country.Their task is not only to ensure that teachers are appropriately skilled to do their work at optimal levels but also to encourage them to be creative in their work and  to make their work environment and classrooms print rich and conducive for learning.

Our children are vulnerable and cannot change their own circumstances but we can play a role in ensuring their joy and safety one way or the other.

Is your little angel in their little heaven???
