It's true that we cannot always get it right as parents. Some days we will say or do something that hurts our children, whether we do it intentionally or not. What is important is that we repair with our children. Apologise and reconnect with your child.

Please help us congratulate our Parent Graduates who have just completed Ububele Vuna Parenting course. This is a group of ECD practitioners, social workers, and parents who are interested in learning more about children's behaviour and how to manage those difficult moments. Watch out for their reflections on our social media platforms later this week.

Boitumelo Mathope, our 2024 clinical volunteer, have been accepted for Master of Arts in Community-Based Counselling Psychology at Wits University. We are so happy for Boitumelo, and this is partly why we have a clinical volunteer opportunity for psychology honours graduates.

This is what Boitumelo said about Ububele's contribution to her journey:

Before my volunteer year I had never seen myself working with children as a psychologist but after being in their preschool and working with the kids and teachers I quickly changed my mind. The way the teachers work with different children of different capabilities and struggles was eye opening to me and seeing them be supported through something like the persona doll training, which I also got to do, was amazing.
I take everything I’ve learnt from Ububele into my masters program and for that I am very thankful!
