We recently launched our Alex Intern Programme. In partnership with ORT, The Link will be training and mentoring nine interns who will work one on one with children in schools in Alexander. We are really excited about this new initiative and look forward to working with this enthusiastic group of young people.

The Gr2 children enjoyed their individual sessions with their volunteers. We did 3x 30 minute sessions like Orange Grove Primary. More children can be seen this way. The morning was a huge success. We are looking forward to next Wednesday when we will work with Group 2."
