Giraffe House Visit
Author: Won Life
Won Life is a registered non-profit organization (NPO) and public benefit organization (PBO) with the vision to change lives through education in the community of Fisantekraal.
This vision is carried out through our Won Life Pre-Primary School (ECD Independent School, offering Grade R), English Literacy Centre (focussed on Grade 2 and 3 learners), Teacher Mentorship Programme (aimed at upskilling Foundation Phase Teachers, Grades 1 - 3), High School Education Centre (facilitates homework sessions from Monday to Friday. With access to stationery resources, laptops, printers and relevant academic and personal development workshops).
The Educational Problems in South Africa are vast to say the least and this is no different in the growing community of Fisantekraal, which is based just 10km outside of Durbanville. Won Life has been actively involved in Fisantekraal since 1999 and this has allowed us to understand the day-to-day the challenges that people in the community face (e.g. such as poverty, gangsterism, high crime levels, social injustice etc…). This has also fostered a healthy and organic relationship to develop between Won Life and the community that we serve.
With a good education, children have the opportunity to break the cycle of poverty and better define their own futures. Our hope is to cultivate responsible and active citizens resulting in a brighter future for our country. We invite you to join us in changing lives though the provision of excellent education.
A conservationist from Giraffe House came to visit us on Friday, October 25, and what an incredible morning it was! The learners were filled with excitement and giggles as they encountered a variety of animals. They were able to interact with Reptiles such as snakes and a bearded dragon. They even had the chance to gently stroke a Python and a Boa—what a thrilling experience!
The beautiful owl left everyone in awe, while the adorable hedgehog stole the girls' hearts, the bearded dragon was the favourite among the boys, sparking cheers of delight! It was such a fun and educational experience for our little learners, leaving them buzzing with excitement and curiosity!
