I am a teacher. I owe my being to the beautiful children I am entrusted to educate. The year 2020 began with endless possibilities. I was to teach grade 1 for the first time. I was filled with motivation to mould the minds of my highly impressionable learners. I wanted to teach them skills that would last them a lifetime.

During the COVID-19 lockdown, Edufundi has stayed in contact with beneficiaries in order to continually assess and respond to their needs. In addition to the 1800+ telephonic support sessions we’ve provided since the beginning of lockdown, we recently surveyed our school principals to find out how they are coping, and what they need from Edufundi going forward.

I have always been inspired by Mrs Zungu, a mentee of mine who before lockdown would regularly use her own money to buy books for learners or food when they were hungry. I will never forget when she excused herself from a mentoring session, as she had to rush to the nearest supermarket to buy something for her whole class as they had not been fed by the feeding scheme on the day.

Apart from their colourful outfits, every superhero is known for having a special ability or talent, which they use to protect the innocent and fight against evil and injustice. No matter what they are doing, when they hear the call of someone in need, they drop everything and take action, often risking their own lives and sacrificing their own needs.
