Ubuntu Day
Ubuntu Day
The aim of "Ubuntu Day" was for the Grade 8s to practice Ubuntu through educating the children of Kwa.Mama. They spent a few weeks preparing for this day, researching and designing physical and educational activities to conduct with the pre-schoolers. Mrs Rose Humphries, principal of the Crawford North Coast Pre-Primary, also assisted the Grade 8s in preparation for "Ubuntu Day", by allowing them to spend a morning with her students and teachers to get tips and ideas for the creation of their teaching tools.
"Ubuntu Day" was filled with learning and bonding, and was a huge success. Both the children of Kwa.Mama and the Grade 8 students benefitted from the experience. The Grade 8s did not only show Ubuntu through their determination to teach the children, but through their genuine compassion and care for the pre-schoolers exercised throughout the day.
