Midrand, Gauteng, South Africa - September 28, 2023 —
Recently, parents in Soshanguve, seeking help for their children with learning difficulties, celebrated the success of a remarkable learner support program ran by Juliette Mfomadi, dedicated principal of Kamogelo Daycare in Soshanguve and a Scientology Volunteer Minister. The recent graduation marked the achievements of the students who participated in the Learner Support program and improved their literacy and school results from rock bottom to the stars.
Juliette Mfomadi, principal of Kamogelo Daycare in Soshanguve, serves as a beacon of hope for parents in her community. Her daycare also serves as an afterschool care center that caters to the children in her community who are struggling with barriers to learning. She has been providing Learner Support to great success and is now enabling children to Read for Meaning for over 8 months and shows no signs of slowing down.
Deeply concerned by the rate of dropouts and struggling learners in her community in Soshanguve, Juliette searched for solutions and came across a Learner Support programme offered by NPO Scientology Volunteer Ministers. After thorough training on the skills offered by the NPO, she decided to implement this in her community and use her facility as a space where learners could come and receive support for their school difficulties. “I couldn’t just stand by idly while the many children in my community lost hope in education. I created a Learner Support Volunteer group to take in troubled children and help them with their study difficulties and the results are spectacular and beyond expectation,” said Juliette.
Despite various school holidays and examination periods, her unstoppable group of Learner Support Volunteers has been delivering outstanding results. Students are thriving academically, transforming from children who once preferred to skip school to now eager students. “The transformation is very rewarding. It gives me hope for the future of the kids in Soshanguve,” added Juliette.
One grateful parent whose child has been attending the after school learner support program shared this, “My son is now one of the top students in his class, serving as class president and a shining example of a dedicated student. I am immensely grateful to this learner support program in Soshanguve. Since my son started attending this afterschool program, I have witnessed remarkable changes.”
Another mother expressed her joy. “My daughter now enjoys learning so much that she even attends the program during school holidays. When I asked her what she wanted to do for the school holidays, she proudly said she is going to be at the afterschool care center learning instead of wasting time in the street.”
With a dedicated team of 8 Volunteers, Juliette believes she is bringing very positive change in her community. Inspired by the training she received from the Scientology Volunteer Ministers and the practical skills she gained from the Tools for Life skills training, she has taken this knowledge to heart and helps learners Read for Meaning. “It is a really exciting project for me and my team,” continued Juliette.
ON speaking about her recent accomplishments, Juliette said “Education is very important and it is saddening to know that over 80% of learners in grade 4 cannot ‘Read for Meaning’. Sitting by and doing nothing is not an option. The students that attend my Learner Support programme walk out of here as independent learners who can resolve barriers to learning and read for meaning. It’s truly remarkable to witness.”
“The Study Technology of L. Ron Hubbard on which the Learner Support Program is based really works,” concluded proud Juliette.”
Juliette remains committed to continue her Learner Support program and even more committed to bring solutions to the Learning barriers that plague her community.
