A learner gains new confidence

When Ziyanda joined our After School programme in June 2015 she was very shy and lacked self-confidence. Now, she has become one of our best learners, actively participating and willingly helping other learners in the class.

Ziyanda, a Grade 6 learner, lives in Lower Crossroads with her parents and older sister, When she joined Beautiful Gate's After school education support programme in June 2015, she was struggling a lot and was so shy, lacking confidence in herself.

After a few weeks in the programme, her academics started improving, but she still lacked confidence. It was then that our tutors decided to initiate some one-on-one sessions with her, encouraging her that she could do better.

Over the past few months she has started gaining confidence and now she is one of our best learners who participates willingly and helps others in the class.
