FXB donates furniture for Grade R's
The organisations donated tables and chairs to Moruti Makuse Primary School and Jeremia Mdaka Primary School.
Moruti Makuse Primary School is situated in Kwa-Guqa Extensions, and Jeremia Mdaka Primary School is in Vosman.
The furniture was donated to help the Grade R learners, as they have noticed that the schools have quite a number of Grade R learners in one class.
FXB is a non-profit organisation that has been breaking the chain of poverty for more than 30 years and in 14 countries. The organisation aims to provide support and tools to families with extreme poverty so that they can feel self-sufficient too.
According to the coordinator of the FXB, Thandeka Skhosana, the handover was also a way of teaching learners to give back to the community, as they have several learners from the intermediate phase upward that they work with daily.
The organisation offers after-school classes to the intermediate and senior phase learners at Moruti Makuse Primary School, and they also help them with homework. Therefore, the handover taught the older learners the power of giving by reminding the Grade R learners that they matter too.
'We don't want to see the children on the streets because they don't know what to do with their lives on their free time. We want to build them in a way that they will understand that even if they have just a little, they should think of those who have nothing,' said Thandeka.
The handover was marked by hitting two birds with just one stone, as the host also surprised the learners with a play that reminded them that they should always appreciate the little things they get from other people. The handover taught them to appreciate and to give so that it can be given unto them as well.
'We no longer have an excuse for why the learners are still using one classroom now. We were not expecting what the FXB did for us, but we are really grateful. We can all imagine how it is having a lot of Grade R's in one class,' said Portia Malaza, the principal of Moruti Makuse Primary School.
The learners thanked the FXB for their amazing gesture, stating that they are seeing all the great things that the FXB is doing for them.
'We are using the intermediate and the senior phase to remind the foundation phase that they should pour into the community that pours to them,' said Thandeka.
The FXB stands firm when it comes to being the hand the community needs, as they also offer rehabilitation and disease awareness, including HIV/AIDS.
The schools showed their appreciation to the FXB, and they are looking forward to achieving more together.
