Sipho is 15. On Wednesdays after school, he's the one the little ones wait for.
He started coming to the reading corner to do his homework somewhere quieter than home, where four siblings share two rooms.
Then 8-year-old Kagiso asked him what a word said.
Then the next word. Now Wednesdays belong to Sipho.
He's patient in a way that surprises the adults: he lets Kagiso sound it out, waits, and only jumps in when she's properly stuck.
Sipho wants to study engineering one day.
For now, he's helping build readers.
Know a teenager who'd be good at this?
Our Wednesday reading buddies need two more volunteers aged 14–18. Message us to find out more.
