Today while driving to one of the ECD centres NEA is involved in I passed this beautiful flower. Almost not noticing it between all the rubble…This just made me think about the following: “Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.” ― Leo Buscaglia   I could have so easily missed this opportunity to see this special flower blooming and just waiting to be noticed by someone. Then I realised that this is the reality withRead More →

Fine motor Development? Generally refers to control over the small movements of the hands and fingers, as well as the small muscles of the face and mouth (tongue) and feet. However, the focus is usually on developing the skills of the small muscles in the hands. Why Are Fine Motor Skills So Important? In the preschool years, being able to colour with crayons, cut with scissors, paint with a paintbrush and play with small objects such as lego, beads and puzzles, are integral to your child’s development. Self-care activities such as tying shoelaces and using a knife and fork to eat food, all require aRead More →

“Children whose earliest years are blighted by hunger or disease or whose minds are not stimulated by appropriate interaction with adults and their environment pay for these early deficits throughout their lives – and so does society. Such children are far more likely than their more fortunate peers to do poorly in school, to drop out early, to be functionally illiterate, and to be only marginally employable in today’s increasingly high-technology world. Collectively, these children who have been deprived in early life therefore affect labour productivity and national economic prosperity.” Armeane M. Choksi World Bank NEA Foundation’s DREAM is to get involved in more ECD (EarlyRead More →

The renovations @ Bambino’s crèche are almost done now. Busy with the last little details. There will be 3 new classrooms to accommodate the need there is in the area for children to attend ECD (Early Childhood Development) centres. This will create an opportunity for 60 more children to attend an ECD (Early Childhood Development) centre, which otherwise probably would not have been possible. Also it will create 3 more jobs for teachers at the centre. It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men. “Frederick Douglass” NEA Foundation is very thankful towards everyone that made this possible and excited to seeRead More →

Letter from a NEA staff member… It was last year in April when I received a call from Marlie. It was not just any call to me but it was a call that changed my life forever. I had been searching for work since 2005, and in all these years I had no luck in finding a job. In 2010 me and my family moved to Pretoria because my husband had been given a job to come and work at the Union Buildings. Again I started looking for a job everywhere, I had been praying to God to please give me any job even ifRead More →
