Lindiwe - girls education

 

Someone in Johannesburg sent Lindiwe a book about air traffic control. She's read it twice and has started directing the breakfast queue.

 She stands by the tap with a ruler. "Hold position." "Cleared for porridge." The little ones play along, mostly. Mama Dikeledi says the queue has never moved faster and she isn't going to argue with it. Lindiwe has a new question for us now: do air traffic controllers need Maths? (Yes.) She's asked Thabo to "check her" on fractions once his exams are done.

 Lindiwe wants to know: what job did you dream about when you were 11? Tell us below and we'll read your answers to her.

POVERTY IS MORE THAN AN EMPTY PLATE

 

When we think about poverty, we often think about hunger.

But poverty can also mean a child going to school without a uniform.

It can mean a parent choosing between food and transport.

It can mean an elderly person living alone with nobody checking whether they have eaten.

It can mean a family living in a place where the basics many of us take for granted are simply unavailable.

Poverty isn't just about what people don't have.

It is about opportunities they may never get.

At CLR Foundation, we believe that small acts of support can help restore something incredibly important — hope.

❤️ Sometimes a food parcel matters.
📚 Sometimes a schoolbook matters.
👕 Sometimes a uniform matters.
🤝 Sometimes simply knowing that somebody cares matters.

Never underestimate what a small act of kindness can mean to someone else.

Mam Busi and Thabo

 

Motivational Quotes & Daily Hope

"Kancane kancane inyoni yakha isidleke." Little by little, the bird builds its nest. (isiZulu proverb)

Thabo didn't learn his Maths in one night. Mam' Busi's garden started with one tyre. Mrs Mahlangu's list started with one book. Almost everything good around the kitchen got built the same way: a bit today, a bit tomorrow, by someone who keeps turning up. Nobody here is waiting for one big break. They're just adding the next twig.

What are you building little by little right now? Tell us below.

 Mam' Busi

Mam' Busi wanted twenty tyres going before summer. She's at 14.

The new ones are planted with spinach and beetroot. Her two teenage helpers each have a tyre of their own now, and there's a quiet competition over whose spinach comes up first. Summer is the hard part. Every drop of water gets carried from the kitchen tap in the same basin she uses to bring the vegetables over. So the list has changed: a few big buckets, a second-hand watering can, and, in her words, "Mulch. Tell them mulch."

Got old tyres, buckets, a watering can or a bag of mulch? Message us to arrange a drop-off. Mam' Busi will tell you exactly where it goes.
