The beginning of the year was a bit tough, we had no volunteers so no children, but from late February on, we have been working hard to educate local children about the environment.
So far, we are very proud to have welcomed 136 students from Lepono, Maatla, and Maahlamele schools.
At the beginning of the children’s stay at DAKTARI, they each fill in a general survey that works as a level indicator. The questions are based on crucial points of their education that they may or may not have learnt in school or in life, as of yet. It is also used as a progression sheet throughout their week, as they are asked to fill out the same questions at the end of their stay. DAKTARI also uses this survey as an indicator as to what might need to be improved on their program.
The project has so far remarked an extensive progression in all subjects, between the beginning and end of the week.
