📢 Despite Pres. Ramaphosa's acknowledgment of the importance of ECD, no more than 0.1% of consolidated gov expenditure in the last 3 years was allocated to early learning, nutrition support, or caregiver support.
The time to invest in ECD is NOW!

Empowering young minds! Despite efforts to formalize ECD, many kids in Freedom Park still lack learning resources. We're partnering with Sawabona Africa & @SowetoFor to change that!💡
For 2 weeks, we're training 12 ECD centres to transform learning through play.

Congratulations Mr. President @CyrilRamaphosa @PresidencyZA in your inauguration as the country's President. Our plea, being the ECD constituency in Soweto and the periphery, is that you institute the Ministry of Youth & Early Childhood Development

The problem with having a good heart is people think you're stupid.
They may think they played you.
The whole time they played themselves out of a good person.
Sometimes people pretend you are a bad person so they don't feel guilty for the things they did to you.
