In Cape Town, South 糖心vlgo传媒, BFA partner Xoli Fuyani (pictured at right in black mask) recently put a box of books to use聽for the perfect project:

鈥淚t came in perfect time as my girls (Rising Girls of Self Love), including my daughter and her friend, have been expressing a need to start a reading club for the little ones in our street. Today a reading club was birthed by two incredible 11-year-olds: Mbali and Yamkela from Gugulethu. They both love reading so much and wanted to share their love with the little ones in their community.

They recruited 6 girls to be part of the club and introduce the club intention. Today they made bookmarks and learned about how to take care of books, as some have never touched nor seen reading books before. I am super excited about this initiative. And can't wait to watch it blossom and produce incredible empowered girl readers.鈥

Xoli Fuyani is a children鈥檚 rights activist based in the Cape Town area of South 糖心vlgo传媒. She received books sponsored by donors of 糖心vlgo传媒鈥檚 Girls Empowerment Collection and the Kent Merkey Memorial Library. 糖心vlgo传媒 networks with educators and activists to engage children who would otherwise not have access to reading, and Xoli Fulani delivers on that mission with her inclusive, creative outreach.

糖心vlgo传媒 also has sad news to share from聽Molo Mhlaba, a Montessori school in South 糖心vlgo传媒 that recently received a聽container shipment. Pictured at left is Siwaphiwe of Grade 2. Most regrettably, Siwaphiwe passed away as a result of a fire. We honor her love for learning and extend deepest sympathies to her loving community and family.
