Dedicated To Our Enrolled Kids...This blog site's a shocker at taking forever to feature new posts and just as much a shocker for marathon ones. Core business (Learn-Now) is often overlooked and it's taken a student to pluck up the courage and ask why they're very rarely featured here. Fair call.
I have to confess that I've underestimated them again - I'd never even assumed they'd even be an audience! In light of that, marathon blogs had better become a thing of the past! Welcome, from this moment on, to Bite Size Blog Posts!
Uganda: The WOW FactorThe beauty of Learn-Now, is its freedom to (eg) enrich, motivate, and generate. With scope to seed concepts and enable students to create a focus, be entrepreneurial and go global, we find ourselves off to Uganda! At Solway School, Masterton, there's a fired-up team of G&T kids with us, aged 8-9, who are adopting the issue of global citizenship.
This young team's hooked into the life & times of 16 year old NZer, Lucy (a Learn-Now student from 2001-3). When Lucy's not rescuing abandoned babies, she's (eg) teaching local Ugandans and working alongside her Dad, Kiwi farmer John Ward from Raetihi, teaching locals the basics of farming, be that tick spraying, or washing hands before milking etc!
The intrigued young Masterton kids have decided to adopt an entrepreneurial spirit, that aims to generate funds for a little hand-up support. Funds aim to buy a milking goat (NZ$180) and supply Lucy with activities to use with the Ugandan kids around her. For more, check out 'Wards Under African Skies'. Consider too, joining us! We're launching an official Global Citizenship Programme encompassing Uganda and much more...
