    Story

    Bajabulile means the happy place. It is a remarkable school supporting children to make a success of their lives. Many live in the shanty town on the edge of the Mamelodi township. Apart from the love and care the families give, they have very little to provide more than the basics for their children.This project is about helping the school build a Science Centre. It will improve the quality of their education and as Nelson Mandela said, "Education is the best weapon for change in the world"

      Update from the Page owner

      Thank you everyone. The pledge site has now closed and we managed to raise £1500. I just need to do the walk now. We have doubled this amount and sent £3000 to the school committee managing the project for us. This is what they urgently need to progress the build to be ready for the October launch. We will need to do this all over again to get the resources we need so the International running / cycling and walking events in October should do this. Once I have lived through my long walk well put our energies into organising this. Thanks as well for those of you who are coming out with us for the launch. We have quite a group coming. Finally I'll try and keep you up to date with the walk on social media. I'll spare you any photos of my feet. Thanks a million. You have made a difference. Have a look at the blogs at https://johnbaumber.wordpress.com to see the thoughts of young people in the school.

    With over 40 years in education as headteacher, CEO and Education Director this is the time to pay back before I retire completely.I know no one thinks this will happen! I've been working with schools in South Africa for over a decade. Especially in the townships. It's inspiring
