A fulfilling experience

“I like the informality of Learning Club, which makes the children feel special, while also endeavouring to assist with each one’s learning preferences. This approach has made some results feel especially rewarding for us as tutors.

“As I’ve shared at VIEW meetings, it’s particularly rewarding when withdrawn children, after a time, bound into the room chattering away to us as they arrive, dump their bags and keep sharing with us.

“I also like to see the expression on a child’s face when they discover the delight of learning something and knowing that they know it.

“Being the Learning for Life officer at my VIEW Club is very meaningful for me. As well as the pleasure of maintaining contact with our sponsored students, it enables me to easily keep my fellow VIEW members focussed and interested.

“While there is always controversy and debate about education, it is vital not to lose sight of what basic education means to people who don’t have it. It is very important programs like Learning for Life and Learning Club continue and expand.”
