Fun with Numbers 2024
Our Fun with Numbers programme was run at Knighton Road school in Hamilton, NZ. This was a 10 weekly programme run after school, once a week. We had 12 former refugee and new immigrant children plus 6 siblings, 3 Volunteer Waikato volunteers, a Teacher Aide and overall Approved Tutor, Reese.
What an incredible journey was achieved developing confidence in a non- threatening environment. All under the umbrella of a mathematics theme.
A heartfelt thank you to all involved which meant a fun time and another layer to these children. A layer of what life can be like.
Transforming lives.
