It is time for South Africa’s WSP Project! (1)
WORLD SMILE SOUTH AFRICA
Dear Steemian friends
It is here! The first project for World Smile South Africa!
Who will benefit? |
|---|
Two months ago, you were introduced by @patjewell to Cedarwood Learning Centre, in Ballito, South Africa. A school that received no support funding from the government and who must subsidize its teachers while it is doing its best to educate children with disabilities, who were bullied attending a normal school, and children who experienced difficulties learning.
How will the school benefit? |
|---|
The school currently has one dream and that is for a touch interactive whiteboard. This will enable the teachers to involve the children in active learning. This technology is a great equalizer for teaching children with special needs while engaging them on a different level and by keeping them engaged.
After investigating, researching, and speaking with other schools it was clear that the touch interactive board is not the solution for the school. The school needs more than just the board. They also need the operating system.
With the investigation, a completed Infrared Interactive System was discovered. What makes this system nice is that it is portable, and it transforms any flat surface into a touch Electronic Whiteboard. There is thus no longer a requirement for the whiteboard.
This Interactive Whiteboard System also allows the teachers the ability to rotate the use of the system in their classrooms. The teaching of Mathematics, Natural Science and Technology, Life Skills, and Social Sciences on a touch interactive system is now a reality.
Specifications:
What is the cost? |
|---|
The cost for the original touch interactive whiteboard was;
Cost: R 11 839 (South African Rand) = 3078 STEEM
This will now be replaced with the Interactive Whiteboard System
Cost: R 6 099 (South African Rand) = +/- 2031 STEEM
- Price of STEEM on 11 November 2022
Not only are we supporting a better system, but it also prevents large STEEM disbursement as WSP chooses to provide assist by reducing STEEM disbursement.

Going forward |

We hope that this project is just the start of many. It will give us great pleasure if this system can also be rolled out in neighboring informative schools where the need is high for educational material.
The call |

We thank those Steemians who have already contributed to the fund. THANK YOU!
The sharing of your rewards is deeply appreciated.
We call on our fellow Steemian to follow suit. It is only with YOUR help that we can make dreams come true and put smiles on the face of the children of the world.

The first project for World Smile South Africa is started, this will be a new chapter for the world of charity, and of course it will be the responsibility of all of us to make dreams come true for children with special needs.
2031 Steem is not a small fund to be collected in a short time, it looks like we will work harder to be able to collect it soon.
And I think, #smilesouthafrica25pc is one solution that we can use to speed up fundraising.
Thank you!
A small donation can put a BIG smile on a face!!

Hi @patjewell, are you okay to receive donations to @smilesouthafrica in TRX ?
Es emocionante ver como STEEM puede ser usado para generar felicidad y esperanza en los más necesitados. Especialmente porque tiene fines educativos para estos que han encontrado otras puertas cerradas.
Espero que la meta se alcance en un tiempo tan corto que se queden sorprendidos.
Thank you for your kind words!
