After Care & Enrichment (ACE) Project

The After Care and Enrichment (ACE) project has grown from strength to strength. We have fifteen children under this project. They follow a structured programme of activities in the afternoon that mostly focuses on literacy improvement.

These programmes and activities are successfully run by dedicated Rhodes University students, Mary Waters High School learners, Kingswood College staff and pupils and interested community members.

Some of the highlights are; the ACE children learnt to play the recorder and different brass instruments at Kingswood College Music School. They started an organic vegetable garden and harvested already for household consumption. Sue Pyle assisting them with remedial instruction and the faithful volunteering by Meg and Bettie Hartzenberg.

They visited the Library for the Blind and also played the recorder at the children’s ward at Settlers Hospital. It was their way of giving back to other orphaned and vulnerable children.
