MES is changing the heart of the city by empowering people holistically (physical, emotional, developmental and spiritual) to live independent, sustainable and meaningful lives.
Over the past 26 years the MES holistic development and service model has been established to address the needs of the homeless, unemployed and vulnerable individuals and communities through three service units: Poverty Alleviation, Spiritual and Community Enrichment: Professional Health and Social Work Services; and Education and Skills Decvelopment Services.
siyaJabula siyaKhula is the Ignite educational initiative aimed at assisting school learners.
As an extension to our Embark nutritional program at Dowling Primary School in Westbury, it is our desire to assist in their pilot educational support project. siyaJabula siyaKhula (we are happy, we are learning) is a proven learner regeneration program that fills in educational gaps. This makes it possible for struggling learners to cope and even thrive in their current grade as they gain the skills necessary to engage with the material.
We plan to become involved by sourcing sponsorship for the learners and volunteering to be trained as tutors. Three groups of 6 volunteers will be tutoring at Dowling Primary during the last quarter of 2012.
