ANOTHER YEAR HAS PASSED

Bells are ringing as 2010 Christmas is on the horizon.

To all the Rooiberg Tirisano Project donors a hearty thanks from the staff and children of Itireleng school.

2010 has been an interesting year as the school has managed to operate quite sucessfully with less input from RTP and lots of excitement about the World Cup.

National teacher strikes disrupted some of the developments we had been hoping for.

Nevertheless RTP is still needed and thus a big project for the establishment of a school library is in the planning phase.RTP members have diligently accumulated funds this year to make it a possibility in early 2011.Without our donors we would not have been able to make these plans.

This is our dream!

In 2010 the National Government focused on developing food projects in all schools. Itireleng has benefitted from this and the children receive a mid morning meal daily.

MAY YOU ALL BE BLESSED THIS CHRISTMAS SEASON AND HAVE MUCH JOY AND PEACE

GOOD START TO 2010

2010 started with a bang for Itireleng school. During our last visit it was fantastic to see that all teachers were on duty and classes were in order with all children in school uniforms.There was a great sense of learning happening and the learners were enthusiastic and teachers positive.

Kumba Mine fulfilled their promise in that they renovated the toilet areas for the school. The teachers have devised a system whereby the learners will be looking after the areas very carefully and taking pride in what has been given to them.

RTP continues to donate toilet paper through the monthly donations of donors.Thank you very much.

To all our donors and friends we hope that the Easter season will bring or has brought life and joy.
