Computer Trainings Course



Sphiwe (pictured above) and Qaphela (below) have been selected to attend a computer training course provided by SQS, a computer training company located in Westville, Durban. The course offers computer skills training for bginners - quote - 'how to turn a computer on' and is open to disdadvantaged children who are non-white (all I Care children are black South Africans) and able to speak, read and write English.
This is a wonderful opportunity for the two boys who, we feel, will be the first of many youngsters SQS will train in computer literacy. I Care thanks SQS and their staff for giving them this chance towards a better future. We, and they, are very grateful. Skills training after they leave our care is very important.

Two New Bicycles

Greg and Sally Payne, long-time supporters of I Care, have given two bicycles to us. We have given one to Sbusiso from Stanger to save him an eight km walk to school each day. Sbusiso is one of our Aftercare boys. The second bike has been given to Bonolo, a Skills Development boy who works at Standex in Umlaas Road. Having wheels saves him R20 a day bus fare. The two boys are very grateful - as are all of us at I Care.
Thank you Greg and Sally.
