Good Hope Preschool

In 2015 Foundation Willen en Doen from Amsterdam, the Netherlands, built a new préschool in Sidabadabeni. Selina Arends is the driving force behind this new school. She is a nurse in Philani Clinic and an inportant woman in the communicty of Sidabadabeni and the surrounding villages. 

Willen and Doen puts down a building, but we are convinced that a school is more than 4 walls and a roof on top. 

In 2016 Selina approached us to help the school out. We adopted the school and make a plan to lift up the school, together with Selina, teacher Missy and the local community. We hope to connect Good Hope Préschool into the Montessori network. 

We started with the vegetable garden and equipment for the kitchen. Together with Selina and Nomonde (Ikhaya Labantwana) we invested in school materials. Teacher Missy started her Montessori education in 2018 provided by Jennifer Moore from Auburn House, Cape Town.
