School nurse Sister Grace has been helping pupils of the Waterberg with learning problems by addressing social issues. “These include poverty, family crises, abuse, sexual abuse leading to unwanted pregnancy, gender-based violence, menstrual issues, and undisciplined learners attitude to fellow school mates and teachers.”
She reports, “My presence in surrounding schools has eased the pressure of teachers being disturbed during class. I have created a solid relationship with students who are free to come to me whenever they need help. Serious matters are referred to relevant stakeholders.” If she has a problem with students coming to school under the influence of drugs and alcohol or sees knives being brought to school, the Victim Support Unit at the local police station are notified.
“I have seen positive changes after facilitating health and safety,” Sister Grace says.

Two families lost their houses and the contents to fire recently, leaving them homeless. The Dept of Social Development managed to provide them with temporary shelter and blankets, but they had no food parcels at their offices. Among the family members were school children who lost their school uniforms and stationery.
Nursing Sister Grace says: “I managed to buy and distribute food parcels. It was not easy as the local supermarket could only allow me to buy three of each item due to lack of stock.”
If you are able to help these families, The Waterberg Trust accepts donations on Justgiving. Details of how to help in other ways can be found on this website here.

Sister Grace assisted a homeless young man who was sleeping on a dump without a blanket or proper clothing. “I noticed he had mental illness. He had arrived in Vaalwater from KZN by foot.”
“I went with him to the supermarket to buy food.” He was offered a vacant room, bathed and provided with clean clothes. Well-wishers donated a foam mattress for him to sleep on. “I bought him a blanket and took him to the local government clinic to seek medical help but he was not assisted due to not having a mental illness history and not having a passport.” After spending a month in Vaalwater, a cousin managed to buy him a bus ticket and he was successfully put on bus heading for Mozambique where he was welcomed home.

Elton writes:
“Your invaluable contribution to my college education has impacted my life immensely, and I cannot thank you enough.”
“My computer science education has been truly enlightening and captivating. Through the curriculum at EDUVOS, I have gained a solid foundation in various aspects of the field. I have acquired programming skills in languages such as Java, Python, and C++, enabling me to develop software applications and solve complex problems. Moreover, I have also learned about database management, algorithm design, and artificial intelligence, broadening my understanding of the limitless possibilities that lie within the realm of computer science.”
“I have successfully completed the second quarter of my studies. It was an intense and challenging period, but with your support, I managed to excel in my exams and achieve promising results. Your belief in me has been a constant source of motivation, driving me to work hard and stay focused on my goals.”
“In addition to my academic pursuits, I have also been actively involved in extracurricular activities to maintain a well-rounded college experience. I recently joined the basketball team to enhance my physical fitness and encourage a sense of teamwork. It has been an incredible opportunity to engage with fellow students and build lasting friendships while staying active and healthy.”
Elton Chitanga in the Waterberg
“I am incredibly appreciative of the financial assistance you have given me, which has not only allowed me to focus entirely on my studies and personal development but also eased the strain of paying tuition. Your trust in my abilities has increased my confidence and given me peace of mind that I am headed in the correct direction for a bright future.”
‘Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generous assistance. I am determined to make the most of this opportunity and strive for excellence in my academic studies. Your investment in my education will undoubtedly have a lasting impact, and I am committed to proving myself worthy of your support.”

LEARNERS FROM MEETSETSHEHLA HIGH SCHOOL WHO RECEIVED A MEASLES VACCINE
PROGRESS:
All Learners from High Schools are kept at school for longer hours including Sundays to ensure they are well prepared for exams and kept busy. This initiative was implemented in order to improve exam pass rates in surrounding schools as most learners don’t study nor submit their work as expected.
Mid-term exams went well in all schools and matriculants were motivated and prepared on various ways of performing well in final exams.
Meetsetshehla School learners were provided with buses to transport them to and from school during this winter season to help those living far away to get to school on time.
Maintenance of classrooms are taking place at Metsetshehla School, repairing of broken doors & windows, replacing electrical bulbs, fans and flooring.
Learners were occupied with various sporting activities to keep them physically fit and able to socialize. They competed with local schools and those who did well moved to the district level competitions in soccer, netball, chess and volleyball.
CHALLENGES:
Meetsetshehla High School had no water for 3 weeks due to not paying for water.
Inadequate toilets to accommodate 568 learners who spent the whole day at school i.e. only 6 portable toilets which aren’t in good condition and can pose a health risk.
Pregnant teenage mums are easily tired and lose concentration in class.
Some learners are depressed due to social issues, relationship breakups and dysfunctional family histories. Some take antidepressants and attend counseling.
Undisciplined learners are a bad influence and abscond from classes during breaks.

Distributing donations to the needy in the Waterberg
An enthusiastic team of cyclists gathered on Saturday 13th May to raise funds for The Waterberg Trust
“What a wonderful day… Magnificent route enjoying some wonderful English countryside.”
A great time was had on Saturday 13th May when trustees and supporters of The Waterberg Trust set off on bikes to take part in a challenge ride through Bedfordshire and Cambridge.
Thanks to generous donors, they raised a total of £10,695 for projects that the uplift the lives of young people in the Waterberg. You can read about the challenges they face on our website here.

As well as funding Save The Waterberg Rhino, the Waterberg Trust provides a school nurse who runs an Environmental Club and manages a number of small but effective projects from school vegetable gardens and recycling initiatives to the distribution of food parcels for the needy. You can see recent photos here.
TWT Trustee William Orme and his wife Fiona who planned the route and entertained riders
The route was designed to suit every level of rider and all types of bikes were encouraged. Cyclists took in the glorious countryside and were provided with lunch at Southill Park near Biggleswade and refreshments enroute. 37 riders completed the 80 mile route, with 10 taking the 47 mile option.
“Lunch was magnificent and the mid morning scotch egg and flap jacks a highlight.”
Many thanks to the back up team and all who took part
We met at 8.30am at the Orme family’s house Fen Ditton – close to Cambridge North Stationfor those arriving by train and headed down the cycleway to St Ives, enjoying our first party-stop at Gravely. Refreshed, we headed south west through the pretty villages of Bedfordshire to Sir John Soane’s Moggerhanger Hall before reaching Southill Park for some Whitbread family hospitality. This is where the 47-mile route ended. Most cycled on through the villages of South Cambridgeshire, pedalling via Grantchester, the cycle lanes of historic Cambridge and along the River Cam, to finish back in Fen Ditton for a riders’ & supporters’ party.
“What an absolutely splendid and fabulous day of cycling and general merriment – thank you for organising everything so beautifully (most esp a nice flat car free route ) and for wining and dining us throughout.“
“The setting for lunch was like something from the pages of the novel, everyone was so friendly and interesting.”
The cyclists loved the fen flat, no potholes, totally traffic free cycleway from Cambridge North station to St Ives. Many commented on St Ives’ pretty town centre and the historic stone bridge we crossed. Our mid-morning tea & coffee stop at the George’s, with the now legendary Franklin’s homemade scotch eggs, was a highlight for many. The prettiest countryside came in Bedfordshire after we crossed the A1, as we peddled through Moggerhanger, Northill, Ickwell, and past Shutteworth to arrive at stunning Southill Park for lunch in the garden.
Many made a mountain out of a (mole) hill at Barrington Hill, the only real climb we had all day. Some enjoyed the slower pace of the cycleways through Cambridge, even stopping for a millpond-side pub for a pint amongst the punts. Others cursed the bumpy surface and strollers for slowing them down.
The day was not without its dramas, starting with an exploding tyre only a few 100 yards from the start and a couple of cyclists coming off on slippery corners, thankfully only scratches and bumps. Charlie and Jane provided a magnificent back up service.
“Thank you so much for hosting us and organising such an awesome day yesterday! Loved it.”
Everyone raised or donated at least £100 and it looks as if we have generated a total of £9,000, which is fantastic.

Our school nurse, Sister Grace, has been busy during the Easter Holidays, supporting chronically ill patients in the community in urgent need of food, clothes and proper nursing care. Gender-based violence has led to stabbing and loss of lives.
“During the month of April, we lost 4 patients within a week! All required nutritional support and counseling. I managed to visit some of the patients and bathed them.” She dressed their wounds but sadly the patients died.
“If there was a proper healthcare facility or Hospice in our community some of the issues would have been attended on time and lives could have been saved.“
People of the Waterberg are suffering due to:
THE GOVERNMENT CLINIC IS UNDERSTAFFED AND SHORT OF MEDICATION
POOR LIVING CONDITIONS: OVER CROWDING, NO PROPER TOILETS, NO ELECTRICITY
INCREASE IN COMMUNITY THEFT BY BOYS ADDICTED TO DRUGS
GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE AND KNIFE CRIME
CHILD-HEADED FAMILIES WHO ROAM THE STREETS OR HANG AROUND BEGGING WHEN THEY COULD BE IN SCHOOL
POOR FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT: GRANT MONEY USED FOR GAMBLING AND ALCOHOL
LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OR INFORMATION ABOUT CHRONIC MEDICATION
FOREIGNERS ARE SCARED TO GO TO THE LOCAL CLINICAND DEFAULT ON TREATMENT
A 25-YEAR-OLD MAN WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND PASSED AWAY ON 16 APRIL 2023.
Sister Grace has found herself providing post traumatic counseling, passive exercises, nutritional supplements and clothes. “When I come across cases that need further intervention, I refer them to Doctor Farrant and he guides me … I am so grateful to work with him closely.”
Pictures of terminally ill patients couldn’t be shared here due to sensitive content
TWT food parcels and clothing donated through Acts of Mercy has been distributed
THOSE IN NEED WERE IDENTIFIED BY CHURCH ELDERS. BABY CLOTHES AND A FOOD PARCEL WERE DONATED TO A TEENAGE MOM AND CLOTHES TO A CHURCH MEMBER WHO LOST HER BELONGINGS IN A SHACK FIRE

Sister Grace would like to thank donors for their ongoing support and donations of clothes, stationery and sanitary pads, which has helped less privileged children and adults. She continues to distribute food parcels for those who have low or no source of income, assessing the home situation and identifying needs. Forty people were aided this month despite damaged roads.
If you are able to support Sister Grace’s work financially, even in a small way, you can find different ways on TWT’s DONATE page. We have ideas for fundraising here.
