I have learned so much through the Kwena Basic Education Trust and for that I would like to take this opportunity to say: thank you.

I feel very strongly that Basic Concepts should be introduced to all learners- this will give me the time to develop their conceptual language and increase their vocabulary and verbal fluency.
