Knock! Knock! Knock! “Neo!” said Gogo. “Please see who is at the door.” Neo ran to the front door. When he opened it he saw Bella and her mother. Bella was crying. “What’s wrong?” asked Neo. Bella cried even louder. Gogo ran up to the front door. “Come in. Why is Bella crying?” “It’s Noodle,” said Bella’s mother. “We can’t find him.” “Noodle’s gone,” sniffed Bella. “Have you seen him?” “Sit down,” said Gogo, giving Bella a tissue. “Dry your tears.

This year will be our third year of operation. Over the past three years of our existence, we have only received R300 000 in grant funding from a single South African company, Novus Holdings. And 99.9% of grant funding has been from funders based in France and the United Kingdom. The little issue is a homegrown invention, which has become appreciated locally and grown internationally in the Spanish and French language versions. As South Africans, we had hoped, in this regard, for more local support. By the end of 2022, we would collectively, over a three-year period, have reached 1 020 000 learners in South Africa. That means 1 020 000 learners have shared the magazine. We can verify that 340 000 magazines would have been distributed to 340 000…
