Clever Cubs receive some Cricket coaching

The San Bushman children at our Clever Cubs school have been lucky enough to receive coaching by Cricket Namibia who have partnered with UNICEF to introduce the concept of a healthy living lifestyle and choices through sport and development. 

New Term for the Clever Cubs & The Bushman Olympics!

Read all about the Bushman Olympic and the latest updates on our Clever Cubs who have all just returned from their Easter Holidays:

Bushman Olympics

On Saturday 16th April, just before the children went away for their Easter Holidays, we held our annual Bushman Olympics here at N/a'an ku se. All the children got really into the spirit of the games and there were definitely signs of some budding athletes amongst our Clever Cubs....perhaps even some future Olympians! Teams were made up of volunteers, children and parents - we had Team Namibia, England, Scotland, America and Germany all represented in our games which included an egg and spoon race and football dribble.

News from the Clever Cubs

MARIA has shown such a big improvement since last year. She has been awarded a Certificate for Improvement in Mathematics as she progressed from a D to a C this year. Congratulations Maria.

FRANS loves to play the big brother role towards his little brother Saul! When he's not looking after and protecting his brother, he loves playing with all the toys - cars in particular and lots of colouring too.

Teacher Hilma's Diary September - December 2010

For our New Year update, Hilma has written a diary each month sharing with us the latest news from Clever Cubs and her excitement over the children's latest developments:

Clever Cubs Class - Sept 10

Our Clever Cubs continue to develop and grow both in size and in their ability to play, communicate and learn. Our Clever Cubs teacher, Hilma, along with her assistants Tepletene and Anna are working hard to provide the children with a good start in life. 

Nursery Class - Sept 10

Our ever growing number of little ones really love coming to school each and every day. With all the exciting activities they are doing, no one wants to miss out! They spend lots of their time playing with building blocks and it is so interesting to see how they come up with new ideas.

The children are very excited about the visit planned with staff from KMPG next month for the official handover of their new school minibus. KPMG Namibia have kicked off the sponsorship of this bus but we are still searching for two more sponsors to enable us to purchase the bus outright and save costly monthly payments and interest. Email donations@naankuse.com if you are interested or have any contacts who might be able to support us.

Help us to raise awareness and support by telling your friends, family and colleagues about our work – send them the link to our School Video and encourage them to join our ABC Club.

Mainstream School Children - Sept 10

Hilma continues to help the older children already at the mainstream schools with their homework and extra learning in the afternoons and to monitor their progress. The children still have lots of energy to keep them going through their long day and the schools have seen a very big improvement in most of the children.
