EvaluNet has sponsored R40,100 worth of it's top-selling
educational software to the KK Youth Ministry. Based in
Durbanville, the organisation works with children and teenagers
from disadvantaged communities, seeking to equip them with
skills that would help them to do well at school and to get a
stable job in the future. Activities include computer training,
English language classes, life skills activities, sports, camps,
feeding programmes, and more. Helen Williams from the KK Youth
Ministry comments: "We run a computer lab at Mikpunt Primary
School, a no-fees school in Klipheuwel, and this year we are
also in the process of launching a media centre where children
and teenagers can come after school for help with their homework
and other work for school. We began looking at the GetAhead
software as a possible resource for the homework centre and then
(in a telephone conversation with Derek Marnewick) we heard
about the launch of
EvaluNet XT. It sounds as if this would be an ideal resource
for the children and teens that we work with. Most are Xhosa and
Afrikaans speaking, and there is little educational software
around in these languages." EvaluNet will be presenting the
organisation with it's XT and MathPRO software range. |
