The Bopang Lerato ECCD is my village pre-school located about a 5
minute walk from my house. The center is
run by two bo-mme, Mme Malenyora and Mme Mantoleng, and currently attended by
58 preschool children. The school is
very bare and they lack many supplies.
The school building was built by a Peace Corps volunteer who served at Qholaqhoe
High School in the 90’s. Mme Malenyora
was really excited to have me visit and I spent time playing with the students
and watched them perform their songs.
Every time they stand from their chairs they recite “I am STANDING
UP!”. With the assistance of some of the
parents they have started to design some play structures and really want help
to build more. It is really exciting to
see that they have already had that initiative and I am excited for the
possibility of helping. Additionally,
their inside space is really bare and could use visuals on the walls. With the help of my students we hopefully
will be able to paint drawings and teaching aids on the walls to make the
environment better through a drawing contest or something next year.
