(A Place Of Reading)

The Methodist Education Initiative/ Mobile Library


   

Our Mission

To facilitate the development of a culture of reading so as to improve the quality of education in previously disadvantaged schools.

Our Vision

To see teachers in the schools in Daveyton and Etwatwa with adequate resources and support, thereby enabling the children to succeed at learning to read so that they then read to learn.

Our Goal

To provide an efficient library and resource with updated culturally appropriate books to primary and inter – senior schools in the Daveyton and Etwatwa townships.

• To motivate teachers and children by supporting reading initiatives.
• To provide ongoing incentives for top borrowers and top readers.
• To promote the project thereby increasing awareness and broadening the network of support.
• To connect communities and offer opportunities to contribute to the project.

STRATEGIES

Service 30 schools by visiting twice per term providing access to the 20,000 fiction and non-fiction books.
Volunteers in the Reading Gogo project read to the
foundation phase for one hour each Friday at Daveyton
Intermediate School.

FUTURE EXPANSION

Maximise the resources by developing the warehouse into an effective resource centre that is open to teachers one afternoon per week.
Promote the project by establishing a web page.
Maintain and strengthen ties with current supporters
by providing regular feedback and creating ongoing
opportunities for involvement.
