“It’s important for us to undergo partnerships like this with brands such as Steers who share our values that focus on ensuring that underprivileged communities are taken care of consistently, most especially in sustaining the SHOUT S.E.E.D Libraries program that was designed to create brand new fully equipped learning library mobile centers for schools that do not have access to this resource because we saw the success in the first launch of the initiative in Thembisa and Soshanguve last year. This year, the library in BushbuckRidge we will finally celebrate the arrival of the learning center, which will be followed by another ceremony Knysna later in the year.” says Kabelo Mabelane, Co-Founder of SHOUT.
In the speeches and choral performances delivered by the principal, teachers and representative learners carried a communication that expressed gratitude for the beautiful resource that was awarded to them to encourage a culture that supports early childhood literacy improvement within the current demographic of impoverished learners who have the bare minimum to succeed.”, exclaimed Maria, the Principal of Matsavane primary school in her speech during the ribbon cutting ceremony.
“This platform really gives life to SHOUT on a sustainable basis that would help us build more libraries in more schools across the country because without the support from our partners and Steers in the S.E.E.D Libraries campaign, we would have never been able to create much needed mobile resources for our young minds.” states Danny K, co- founder of SHOUT.
