Mission Statement

We believe that the children of Zonkizizwe, South Africa have the potential to become community leaders. However, numerous challenges to their growth and development daily threaten their ability to realize this potential. Our approach to education in this difficult setting paraphrases the Chinese philosopher Laozi: to lead from behind, to provide good soil in which the seeds of knowledge and empowerment can grow.

Goal

To provide the children of the Vumundzuku-bya Vana (VVOCF) center with educational opportunities through the OLPCorps program.
