Developing people

One of our core philosophies at LETCEE is to ensure that we are constantly assisting those we come in contact with to develop to their full potential be they children, caregivers, learners or staff members. It is exciting to watch people grow as they realize just how much they can do and achieve.

In the past week however I have once again had to reflect that growing people often means that they move on from LETCEE and the vital roles that they fulfilled here. This is truly bittersweet! On the one hand we get behind them, cheering them on and on the other we are very sad to see them go. This is the case with one of our committee members from Siyabathanda Abantwana who left last week to go and study nursing in Pietermaritzberg. We are so glad that her dreams are being fulfilled but we are aware of the huge gap she leaves behind. I guess her moving on opens up the opportunity for someone else to begin to reach for their dreams...
