Stories of Hope

JES Curriculum overview from teachers:

Teacher Anna
The Jubilee Excellence Curriculum is the best. It’s purpose is to educate children in a way that they learn through play from the day that the children enter the school at age 3 until they leave the grd R-class

We notice that there is a big difference in their mental growth, and physical. What is also good about the Curriculum is that each child grows, at it’s own pace with assistance.

The Curriculum is not only based on teaching and learning for now, but to build a good foundation for the future.

Teacher B:
Benefits of our Curriculum: Teach the child independence on a very young age. An activity is first presented to a child, where after he/she is allowed to take it from the shelve and work with it.

It gives them the skills to fit in society later in life. Our grace and courtesy covers it. From how to greet, ask for help, answer a phone, carrying scissors etc.

It builds their self-esteem. They have the freedom to choose what activity to work with. Mastering one really builds them. There is room for repetition and once they master it they gain a lot of confidence.

Teacher C:
This curriculum means a lot because the children learn fast. They also learn to speak properly. The children are always happy when they work with the equipment in class. They also like it when the teacher presents it to them. It’s a blessing to have this curriculum because most of the kids in the community do not have the knowledge our children have.

With funds running a bit low and only three small donors left, it seemed impossible to start the following year and supply more than 65 children with the necessities for the new school year. But God is the God of the impossible!

From November onwards, I was praying for a God to supply to all the children’s needs, but at the start of January the account showed little change. Imagine my surprise when we had to start buying school clothes and stationery in mid-January, and found that we had more than enough (all we needed) in the account!

God never ceases to amaze me when His heart is in a project!

Blessing is a grade 4 learner and also a genius. Last year he was selected to represent his school in Mathematics, he is the best in this subject and English too. On Wednesdays and Mondays he does extra Mathematics with computer. He is eager to further his studies until university. They call him a Mathematician . He is good in computers and says he helps other kids to use computers since they do not know how to use it.

Thank you so much for your support, may God bless you.

• We clean our house every evening before going to bed since our child is used to the neat and clean environment at Klippie Kids.
• We pray before every meal as this is how it is done at school.
• Our child noticed that our garden is not as neat and beautiful as the garden at school so we started to put effort into creating a neat and beautiful garden at our house.
• One of the moms mentioned at the parent teacher meeting that because her child was taught to peel vegetables, she is able to attend the meeting because her children are preparing the vegetables so that she can just go home and cook dinner.
• A mom mentioned that her child is happy, healthy, dry and fed when she gets home. Her daughter keeps singing gospel songs so her mom made a recording which she now uses as her ringtone.
• One child does not want to go to bed in the evening before they clean the kitchen.
• A mom thanked the school on Facebook for the positive change she noticed in her child after having attended Klippie Kids for only three weeks.
• One of the moms hikes to school with her child because the bus service was cancelled. She refuses to let this hurdle keep her children from receiving the valuable education they deserve.
• One child asked: “Mom why do you not wash your hands after going to the bathroom?”
• One of the children confronted her mother when she started shouting at the child. The child stated that her mother does not need to shout at her but should rather just explain calmly what she wanted.
• One of the mothers bought her child water boots and was so pleased when the child came and thanked her for the beautiful boots.

I was very young when I started being on the back to school project, I was in grade 6 when I joined now I am in grade 12 it has been there for me 9 years of my life. They helped me in everything they could.

I am thankful for the wonderful work that they are doing and I pray to God to continue blessing them abundantly. I am hoping and believe that one day I will be one of the donors and help kids that cannot afford to pay fees at school. The back to school project has made a huge change in my life. Before I use to have only one school shirt and my school shoes were broken and had to put a plastic bag inside so I don’t wet my socks.

Back to School project has really been helpful to me in a special way. Thank you once again for touching many souls and changing our lives for the better. God bless.

Kim – Simonsberg Primary

Thank you for being so generous thoughtful and so faithful to the living God. I just want to thank most of all for just being you, the chosen one to mold my future. One day something good will come out of me because of you. It seems so trivial to say my cup overflows because of you, so thank you for the help.

Thank you is such an easy word to say yet often spoken in so much delay. Thank isn’t even enough for your goodness to repay but let me say.

THANK YOU BE BLESSED – Vuyi
