A place called home-Ikamvanites walk tall at last

Finding a proper venue for the Ivory Park branch with an office, computer lab and tutoring space has been a greater challenge for the past 2 years.  For the past 9 months tutoring has been happening at a local stadium, with learners crowded in a single room where they could not access learning materials research, printing and photocopying facilities.

Securing a proper venue in a township that is very populated and political like Ivory Park has been a very challenging task which took   team work, commitment and dedication by the Ivory Park superheroes to accomplish. The branch has successfully   signed a 3 year venue MOU with Kaalfontein Secondary School. 

We give much credit to the principal of Kaalfontein Secondary Mr KG Maduma and the school SGB for accommodating IkamvaYouth in such a time of need. On Saturday the 18th smiles erupted on every learner’s face as they walked their way into the new tutoring space.
