Help an educator – help a learner
 |
 |
South Africa’s schools are crying out for change. They’re under-resourced, classes are overloaded, educators are stretched thin and learners face many challenges that threaten their safety and educational futures.
Some learners have difficulty at school and educators need different tools to reach different learners.
Girls and Boys Town have practical solutions – but can only be effective with your help.
 With your support Girls and Boys Town’s Training and Education division can keep making a difference.
Learners need to be encouraged and motivated, and their educators need our support to do that.
Our ‘Well-Managed Classroom’ programme empowers educators. They’re given the right skills and tools to manage learners, to build relationships and revive a culture of learning. Educators want to spend more time teaching and less time dealing with difficult behaviour – and our programme helps them do just that. If you click here you can help to give an educator the tools they need to teach, to impact positively on the country’s most prized natural resource – children and learners!
Right now 183 schools in the country are desperate to take part in the programme.
Your valued and caring support will help us to ensure that learners, educators and schools benefit from our skills-based educational programmes.
Your support now will impact positively and bring out the best in them!

Message from our Chief Executive Officer
Celebrating our she-roes
 |
Just a few of the wonderful women who work at Girls and Boys Town!

“How important it is for us to recognise and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!” – Maya Angelou
On the 9th of August 2009, South Africa and the world celebrate Women’s Day. It’s a day to pay tribute to all the women that make a difference – the “she-roes”. They’re the women who shape the future of the world, the future of our country…they’re the women who shape our children.
Women’s Day is a day to salute every woman – grandmothers, mothers, aunts, daughters, sisters, caregivers, girlfriends and friends…and celebrate them.
A she-ro is a woman who achieves great things because she’s a woman, not despite it. Not just the activists, or the business leaders, or the politicians – a woman who stands up for what she believes in, who cares for the less fortunate, a woman who’s passionate and dedicated and determined, who gives of herself to others – those women are she-roes.
This Women’s Day we should all acknowledge the women in our lives who lead by example and inspire us to be or do better.
At Girls and Boys Town we recognise the women who devote themselves to making a difference in our youths’ lives. Thank you to all of the caregivers, social and family workers, kitchen workers, cleaners, principals, fundraisers, office staff, supporters, donors and volunteers who have love in their hearts for every boy and girl we take under our wing.
This Women’s Day, we celebrate you!
Yours sincerely,
LEE LOYNES
Chief Executive Officer
