OUR NEW WALK to FREEDOM

Mandela Day 2020:

Our new walk to freedom (online parent conference)

Make everyday a Mandela Day! Use your #PowerOf67 to support education and empowerment.

Founded on a co-design workshop within the community, our Lavender Hill ECD & socio-economic co-op is: Community Driven In the community, for the community. The project leader and driver for the delivery of the school will be the teacher or parent

The mood of the workshop participants was positive following the workshop. It was felt that working with Learning In Reach would bring change to Lavender Hill. Your dream and our dreams for Lavender Hill are the same. People come and go and political parties make promises, but you never promised, you asked our input, our views and dreams and we dreamt together.
