Lisa Becker Skype Report

Teacher Lisa Becker has been Skyping with some eSibonisweni teachers regularly on the weekends! She recently talked with Simangele, Nomusa, and John.

The news…

One of the reception year teachers, Pearl Mdluli, may come on as another mentor to the Girls’ Scholarship Program. If you haven’t already, please visit the Web page for the eSicabazini Girls’ Scholarship Program.

We are still puzzling through getting 3G cards for those who were here in January to improve our connectivity; there remain significant obstacles to getting regular Internet access on the eSibonisweni campus.

We were all saddened to learn earlier this year that John had been moved by the ward (large district office) to another school due to lower enrollment at eSibonisweni. This was the first time he’d talked with Simangele and Nomusa since the start of the school year. Although he misses his colleagues, he is enjoying teaching music at his new school. Watch again the video of his students performing a song he wrote.
