Help create a brighter future for Kelso kids
This initiative has blossomed under the leadership of Nasrah Stuart, a passionate young volunteer committed to nurturing a supportive learning environment for these children.
In the heart of Kelso, a community often facing challenges, a beautiful story of life, laughter, and hope is unfolding, thanks to the dedicated efforts of local volunteers.
The Homework Club, an initiative by the global non-profit organisation Gathering Together, is providing essential academic support to 28 children every Tuesday and Thursday, ensuring they have the resources they need to thrive.
Founded by Shane Olson and his late wife, Lara Olson, the Homework Club was established to offer consistent assistance with homework and English language development.
This initiative has blossomed under the leadership of Nasrah Stuart, a passionate young volunteer committed to nurturing a supportive learning environment for these children.
“Our goal goes beyond just helping with homework; we want to create a safe haven where children can learn, connect and feel truly supported,” said Nasrah.
“We envision a fully operational library and ongoing curriculum support to equip these children with the tools they need, like books and stationery, to enhance their learning experience. We invite the community to join us in creating more opportunities for these dedicated children, as every little bit helps!”
The Homework Club is not just a place for tutoring; it’s a nurturing space where children feel comfortable asking questions and seeking help. Gathering Together is dedicated to fostering a sense of belonging, ensuring every child in Kelso has the support they need to succeed.
The local community is encouraged to get involved by donating books, stationery and other educational materials to improve lives, and help combat the effects of poverty and create a brighter future for everyone in Kelso.
Gathering Together has various community initiatives running globally, including a clinic in Kelso and another homework club in Malangeni.
