Click here to read the latest iThemba newsletter which includes stories about preschoolers learning to follow instructions by making cookies, and students getting the reward of new shoes because they have been academically strong, respectful in the classroom, or achieved excellence in sports!

They also had visiting birds, stiff archery competitions, and the annual Orange Grove Adventure Race.  There is never a dull moment at OGS!

Make sure you read to the end of the newsletter to see all of the graduating seniors who have been accepted into university!  Incredible!

Thank you to all of you who sponsor children to attend OGS.

There are still several children on their waiting list who are available for sponsorship and support, so please share that with friends and family and encourage them to contact Angela Price.  Her email is: ithembatrust@gmail.com.  Thank you!
