cover all the necessary concepts required to provide a sound foundation for formal education. Rhythm, rhyme, music, games, story telling, creative play, active learning, respect & care, are integral parts of the courses. Manufactured equipment – such as storybooks, jigsaws, puzzles, games, and toys – are too expensive for most Educare Centres unless they have been fortunate enough to receive donations of second-hand items at PHAKAMISA. So students learn how to create teaching aids, games, puzzles and musical instruments from waste. We collect and use cereal packets, boxes, plastic cartons, bottles, etc, to make them.
