Wordworks’ ECD team triumphs in 2023 support visits!

November 2023

In a whirlwind October, Wordworks’ Early Childhood Development (ECD) team wrapped up their 2023 support visits with success—strengthening relationships with early childhood development centres in South Africa and sharing tools to support learning.

The team navigated a month of intensive refresher training sessions and support visits in KZN, EC and recently concluded the series in their home province, Western Cape. Focusing on the implementation of our Little Stars and Every Word Counts programmes, the team visited practitioners from Food4Thought and just recently the Do More Foundation. This hands-on experience provided invaluable insights into the challenges faced on the ground, celebrating successes and fostering reflective moments. Sudika Martin, Wordworks’ Early Literacy Specialist, shared her reflections: “It was a beautiful experience, filled with learning opportunities. The practitioners’ reflections were heartwarming, reinforcing that our work is making a meaningful impact.” Congratulations to the ECD team for their dedication and resilience. Your efforts resonate, and Wordworks is proud to continue making a difference in communities, one visit at a time!
