TEACH South Africa

🌍✨ Today, as we commemorate Mandela Day, TEACH South Africa is inspired by Nelson Mandela's unwavering commitment to education and his profound love for young people. 🧑🏽‍🏫📚

Mandela believed that "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." In this spirit, we dedicate ourselves to nurturing and empowering the next generation through quality education and mentorship.

Every child deserves the opportunity to learn and grow, and through our collective efforts, we can make this a reality. 🌟✊🏽

Men's mental health continues to have stigma, but together we can normalize men taking care of their emotional and mental well-being.

By encouraging open conversations and promoting self-care practices, we can create a culture where men feel comfortable seeking support for their emotional well-being.

Together, we can work towards a future where everyone feels empowered to prioritize their mental wellness.

"Man up" is not the solution, it is essential to promote open conversations about mental health and to promote diverse avenues for support to empower men to prioritize their mental well-being.

Men need to know that it is ok to seek help for mental health issues because of the significant impact it can have on their lives.

What barriers do you think prevent men from seeking support for their mental health well-being?

Education is the cornerstone of confidence. Confidence paves the way for hope. And with hope, we nurture peace. Together, through education, we build a brighter future.

During challenging moments, it's tempting to fixate on the clock, longing for the test to end.

Always remember, like the clock, you must keep moving forward.

Patience and persistence are your allies in conquering tough tests in life. Take the time to tackle difficult questions, staying focused and determined. Success lies in your perseverance.

As we step into a new week, let's remind ourselves of the transformative power of education.

Embrace the opportunities that education offers. Every lesson learned, every skill acquired, and every challenge overcome is a step towards a better tomorrow. Whether you're a student, teacher, or lifelong learner, remember that your efforts today are paving the way for the future.

Let's commit to learning and growing, not just for ourselves, but for our communities and our nation. Together, through education, we can build a brighter, more prosperous future for all.

Education opens many doors; it is one's passport to a brighter future and a greater nation. The future belongs to those who prepare for it today.

Our esteemed Alumni, Jethro Thabang Leshaba, founded the Eco-Club at Nyanga High School in the Eastern Cape as his legacy project. This initiative aimed to address environmental problems in the community.

Through the Eco-Club, Jethro taught his learners the importance of protecting our biodiversity, caring for the environment and maintaining a clean community. They visited other schools to educate other learners, parents and teachers.

He emphasized the significance of going out of one's way to care for Mother Earth, just as she takes care of us.

The club actively collected waste and sent it for recycling, instilling valuable lessons in environmental stewardship among the students.

Jethro's dedication and impactful teaching earned him the title of Best Teacher for two consecutive years at the National Awards.

He continues to share his wisdom and respect for the earth in and out of the classroom, inspiring many with his commitment to environmental sustainability.
