Technology can reduce paper work

Today we had a meeting with Saint Marks's technology experts. 4 computers are donated for all teachrs of eSibonisweni, with the aim of strengtening friendship between these schools. The most important thing for this setup is to connect learners and teachers for both schools. Now teachers are learning to use these computers. As a group from eSibonisweni we are out of words to show our appreciation, I think the most important part is to make use of this wonderful opportunity, this would be our biggest word of showing our appreciation.

Thank you guys
Khaya

I am so excited to be able to continue our friendships and partnerships! The computers were an unexpected and happy surprise! I am already planning projects for the Learners of eSibonisweni and Students of Saint Mark's Third Grade!

Yes, Khaya, I am hoping that you will be able to continue posting here and offering us information so that we can keep our communities informed about what we do.

About Us

This blog records the experience of two seemingly disparate school communities who entered into a partnership in 2001: eSibonisweni Primary School, located in the rural northeast of South Africa, and Saint Mark's School in San Rafael, California. School partnership works from a model in which a challenged local community is engaged in leading its own development. We believe that the developed world can lift up the developing world without creating a culture of dependence. But it takes time and the efforts of many hands, hearts, and minds. And more time. After ten years and four visits to South Africa by members of the Saint Mark's community (over 160 students, parents, teachers, and administrators to date), we were honored with our first visit from six students and five teachers from eSibonisweni in January 2011. Here's to the next ten years! For more information about our partnership, visit www.saintmarksschool.org/our_community/sister.aspx.
