to these children who live in the Tyume Valley—an area of Eastern Cape which suffers from high levels of deprivation and HIV/AIDS

What are we trying to achieve ?

The children’s education has been severely neglected    We are trying to improve their life opportunities by:-

· providing them with stimulating experiences

· supporting teachers and schools to raise the standard of education through resources and training

· supporting the fight against HIV Aids by encouraging schools and local communities to work together.

How are we doing this ?

As we are a charity we rely on volunteers to give money and their time to make our projects happen.

Volunteer teachers from the UK have been visiting the Tyume Valley since 2003.
