= SOUTH AFRICA - NIGERIA PARTNERSHIP =

@PAYING IT FORWARD
This project is multigrade and can be done with a class or a group or club in schools on the SA-Nigeria partnership project. we are getting involved in a section of the community without wanting anything back from them. 1) It is hoped our learners will gain a better understanding of that particular problem and see how it impacts on society. I would like the learners to be more aware of and compassionate towards the suffering of others and to think of ways to make their lot easier to handle. We will aim to do one small thing to ease the plight of the chosen community. I’m not quite sure how but technology needs to fit into the picture here. 2) Thinking ahead of our own learners’ digital futures, I want to create a project that will also enable them to be networked, collaborative, globally, be more active in the society, less dependent on paper, and able to write and edit in different forms of hypertext.

= = = = = = = = =News from Eden College, Durban...=

Eden Grade 7s - //i-Care// -

 * The grade 7s are supporting the i-Care charity that works with Durban street children
 * The centre caters for boys aged 6 - 16; supplying a substantial breakfast and lunch each day as well as occupying them with interesting activities, sports and hobbies
 * They rely totally on donations and therefore need as much assistance as possible - not only money, food and equipment, but also time (sports and life coaching, leadership activities and various lessons)

Eden Grade 8s - //Bobbi Bear// -

 * The grade 8s are involved with Bobbi Bear, an organisation that saves, helps and supports abused and molested children
 * The staff of the foundation literally remove (save) children from abusive homes and situations and then support them - from visits to the district surgeon or clinic through the court process (if legal charges are pursued) to caring for them and eventually placing them in foster homes where this is possible
 * The Grade 8s started out by baking goodies and holding a cake sale at school. They raised just over R 2 000-00 which they handed over to the organisation a few weeks back
 * They have done a site visit to the offices in Amanzimtoti, south of Durban

Eden Grade 9s - //Society for the Blind// -

 * The grade 9s are helping the Society for the Blind
 * Last term they raised over R 3 500-00 towards the training of a guide dog. This has been added to the Eden CareCom Fund and the total is now over R 10 000-00 which will allow for one dog to be trained.
 * They visited the offices of the society on Tuesday and are now in a better position to help out with more particular and individual projects
