New ECD programme improves learning environment for children

Taking action to address challenges faced by early childhood development (ECD) centreswithincommunitiesin the Siyancuma Local Municipality and to improve the standard of services for the benefit of children, Boikanyo Solar launched an ECD infrastructure project in April of this year The project isset to benefit fourlocal ECD centres and close to 200 children with the provision of educational resources, infrastructural support, as

well as practitioner training, for a course of 12 months.

“ECD centres in the area have been identified as lacking learning resources for indoor and outdoor activities In order to meet this need, learning and play equipment among other educational resources will be provided. This project will have a positive impact on the community ECD education level and the development of the little ones,” explained Pamela Matyeka, Community

Liaison Officer for Boikanyo Solar. This support includes the provision of educational and learning materials; outdoor play equipment; tables and chairs; gas stoves and bottle gas for assistance during load shedding; infrastructure development; and soft skills capacity building for ECD practitioners andmanagementboard These resourceswillhelpcatertothe developmental phases of the children, ensuring that a conducive teaching and

learning environment is provided. “On behalf of the Arthruders ECD Centre, the school Governing Body and Finance Committee, we thank the generous local sponsor of our outdoor playing equipment for our kids. This ECD Centre could not prosper without the generous support of your caring company,” Arthruders ECD Centre Principal,LeahVanWyk

Ek het eergistermiddag hierdie reënboog afgeneem buite my huis Maar kom ek noem net vir jou dat hierdie foto op GEEN manier diegrootsheidvanhierdieoomblikkanvasvat nie Omdat ek die foto op 'n wye hoek moes neem om alles in te kry, lyk dit of die reënboog baie ver weg is, terwyl dit gevoel hetofek'nhanetreevandiepotgoudgestaan het. Dit het werklik my asem totaal weggeslaan en ek kon nie ophou kyk daarna nie My eerste gedagte was: Hoe groot is U Here, om hierdie onbeskryflike skoonheid vir diemenstewys!Ditvoelofmensopjouknieë wil neerval en met jou hande in die lug die Hereaanbid. Sommerindieheel eersteboek van die Bybel lees ons van die reënboog ná diesondvloed,waarGodbelowedatHynooit weer die hele aarde sal oorstroom met reën nie "Toe het God gesê: Dit is die teken van die verbond tussen My en julle en die wilde diere by julle, 'n verbond wat vir alle toekomstige geslagte geld: my reënboog het Ekindiewolkegeplaas.Ditsaldietekenwees vandieverbondtussenMyendieaarde." (Gen. 9:12 13) Dink nou net vir 'n oomblik aan diedagtoe dieeerste mense'n reënboog gesien het Hulle het niks geweet van wetenskap en van ligbreking deur waterdruppels nie Hoe verstom moes hulle nie wees nie! Vandag ken ons die wetenskap agter 'n reënboog, maar toe ek hierdie dubbele reënboog sien, was dit vir my veel eerder 'n teken van God se grootheid en sy almag. Die mens kan geensins 'n reënboog in die lug plaas nie, net God kan dit doen Maar saam met dit het hierdie teken my opnuut herinnerdatGodsybelofteshou,tenalletye! Enwatmeeris,sybelofteis'nbevestigingdat sy genade SO groot is, en sy liefde vir ons so groot is, dat Hy ons nie weer so sal vernietig nie. Sy genade en liefde is eenvoudig net té groot! Ekhetaansopaarpuntegedink:
