Dear Makini Family,
We are grateful that we have overall stayed safe and managed to bring Makini to our children’s homes. We trust that we shall continue to overcome the challenges that come our way and grow stronger in our Makini community. The future has found us in the now, and we are all tremendously building our 21st century teaching and learning skills. It is impressive to see what both our teachers and learners have achieved. In this issue we share with you the e-learning journey, we hear from our learners and what they are upto at home and what would life be without a couple of throwbacks?
