Shine Talent and Arts Day

On Friday, October 4, the Good Work Foundation (GWF) and Madlala Digital Learning Centre presented the inaugural Shine Talent and Arts Day at Madlala High School in Justicia. The purpose of this day was to offer learners the “stage” to showcase their talents, from singing and dancing, to drama and poetry reading. The students connected with the audience on issues which affect young people. These included teenage pregnancy and HIV, the journey of finding yourself as an individual and growing into adulthood
“School isn’t just about maths and science,” says Kate Groch, ceo of GWF. “It’s about finding out who you are and learning to express yourself. Shine ties in with GWF’s mission to focus on emotional literacy as well as digital and English literacy. Linky Nkuna, course facilitator Madlala Digital Learning Centre, recently organised for a group of the high school learners to take part in the Mpumalanga Arts Festival in Nelspruit. It is through her hard work that Shine was made possible.”
