Luyolo Ruka is A learner education support coordinator/Tutor at Beautiful Gate S.A
Here's what his day looks like at Beautiful Gate. Around 7am: I would get up in the morning and get ready for work. I start my day with a prayer and that normally happens in the shower so it’s the singing that makes it special. 08h30: I do breakfast at home so by the time I am at work it’s just coffee and emails. I also plan for the day as well when i get to work. 10h00: Sometimes I have site meetings and team meetings so that’s part of my day as well. By 12 o’clock I need to sort out snack for children. I go out to the market to buy fresh fruit. 12h00: I check on my team to see what still needs to be done for the learners. 13h30: lunch is usually lunch on the run. I have to do weekly reports as well and monthly reports. As the day goes I need to document each day so that by the end of the week I have a report. 14h30: Now this time is busy because I drive the other tutors to their schools and then i go back to mine. 15h00: When I get to school the learners do their attendance register and a prayer before we start the class. I do homework checks and then if there is time for an activity I share it with the learners. If it’s extra mural activities day children finish class at 15h30 to do extra mural activities. 16h30: After the activities and homework we prepare snack as a class and clean up. 17h00: When the children leave, I lock up and go back to the office to park the car and head home, sometimes I just go straight to church before I go home. 19h00: The first thing I do when I get home is to eat and then read or watch television.
