Dear Friends,
We welcome the third and final term of the year, and embrace the bright blue skies and bright African sunshine of the summer season! With parents and teachers undergoing last minute back-to-school preparations, for children everywhere, the atmosphere is often charged up with a great level of anticipation for what is to come. Going to a new term usually means a lot of homework awaits, and whilst this can be a ‘not-so-interesting’ subject for some children, school remains the one place children should be allowed to be who they are and whoever they can be; as well as an open environment for them to be heard.
At Nhaka Foundation, we believe in the education of all children and our sole mission is to educate, feed and improve the health of orphans and vulnerable children in Zimbabwe; with the help of our partners and supporters. This term team Nhaka is faced with the daunting task of mobilising the communities in preparation for the construction of outdoor playgrounds for E.C.D children.
As we all know, “children learn through play”. Children at E.C.D level are stimulated by colours, open spaces filled with toys, sporting activities and play! Play is the best way for young children to learn the concepts, skills, and tasks needed to set a solid foundation for later school and life success. In order to successfully create environments that are conducive for effective play, at Nhaka Foundation we believe in creating spaces that are stimulating and urge spontaneous creativity from children.
Team Nhaka joins in the excitement of 3rd term with a number of outlined projects, some of which include the Arts and Craft ECD Teacher workshop, Outdoor playground and equipment construction, commemoration of the International Day of the girl child and many more!
Children are the future and we must all play our part in making sure their early childhood foundations are established on strong grounds! I hope you can join us as we embark on this term’s initiatives.
Happy new term!!
Until next time,
Roshnee
Nhaka Intern
