29 November 2021

Sifunda Kunye Literacy project hosts annual writing camps for our partner schools but due to COVID we were unable to host our annual writing camp.

However, Sifunda Kunye launched an writing competition for our partner schools, together with our newsletter clubs and English faculty members at our schools our competition was successfully run.

Competition details was to write a short story themed “Where there is a will there is a way”

Top achievers from our partner schools were from St Matthews High School and Hendrik Kanise combined school.

Our 2021 writing competition winner was Natasha from St Matthews High School in Keiskammahoek.

Congratulations to all learners that wrote in to our competition, keep on exploring your creative side.

History of Sifunda Kunye Writing Camp:

Innovative Writing Camp Empowers Learners

Eighty learners from four area schools explored creativity, learning, and self-expression in an intense writing camp over the weekend.  The camp was sponsored and hosted by the Sifunda Kunye Educational Project, a local public benefit organization that has been active in the King Williams Town district since 2008.

Sifunda Kunye invites 10 to 15 learners from each of its partner schools in the King William’s Town District and Grahamstown district participate in these camps.  This past weekend, learners from St. Matthew’s, Xolani, Richard Varha, Toise and Hendrik Kanise combined Schools spent an intense 3 days (Friday-Sunday) focusing on a specific theme, completing personal works, and submitting them for peer critique.  This session’s theme was “Dreams are made of…” and learners were encouraged to express what dreams and ambitions  means to them in essays, poems, and group discussions and drama. Participants received guidance from a talented group of volunteer facilitators, student leaders, and the Sifunda Kunye staff.  .” Participants submit their work for inclusion into a published student journal at the end of the camp.  The journal is a unique opportunity for many to see their work in print.

Learners and teachers are continually impressed with the writing camps.  Participants relish the opportunity to engage in an in-depth weekend of imaginative learning.  They enjoy improving their language and writing skills in a fun and creative venue outside of the classroom.  Teacher’s enjoy witnessing the progress these young writers make over the course of a weekend.

The Sifunda Kunye Literacy Project’s writing camps have been successfully running since they first launched in August 2014.  Sifunda Kunye is a non-profit that relies on donations and grants to support its literacy and technology programs in Eastern Cape schools.

Well done to all our learners they made us proud.

I am a 17 year old(soon to turn 18),Azisiwe Nqweniso. I hail from the dusty roads of Qongqotha Locations,one of KWT’s surrounding villages. I attended my primary school at Qongqotha L/H Primary school and later went on to Xolani Senior Senior Secondary School where I recently matriculated,in year 2018,with FOUR distinctions. Yes Four distinctions, a girl from a village managed to do that.

I was lucky enough to be bought up in a family that was and still is full of love and I’m supported all the time. My journey in high school wasn’t an easy one but today I can proudly say it was all worth it in the end. I remember how I had to sacrifice my social life for my academics, it wasn’t an easy decision but I had to do it for my future. I remember how I used to sleep after 3 am studying for my exams and at times I hated every moment of that. But today I can say all my sacrifices paid off.

Today I am currently enrolled at the University of Witwatersrand where I’ll be doing Bachelor of Accounting Sciences. One day I wish to become a chartered accountant.  I don’t know what the future holds for me but I am just ready.

To all those who think they can’t do,I want to tell you that it is possible. If a girl from a disadvantaged background like me could do it then why can’t you? You CAN and you could even do better than me. All that you need to do is to put in a little effort,sacrifice nice time,commit yourself and be ready to be abused by your books but one day they’ll make you smile. Study hard,and study in time.

Remember “If your dreams don’t scare you then they ain’t big enough”
Good luck and all the best to the class of 2019.

Azisiwe also took part in The Presidents Award, debating during her time at Xolani SSS.

Participants from Sifunda Kunye partner schools, Toise SSS, St Matthews High School, and Hendrik Kanise Combined School took part in a 48 km hike during this weekend. Participants were qualifying for their silver in The Presidents Awards level.

During our arrival at camp it was raining but we were determined to complete our camp and required km to qualify for our silver. We hiked for 4km during the night walk, the following morning we hiked along the beach for 40 km and on the 3 day we hiked for 6 km. This was a challenging hike, it rained the entire 3 days and 2 nights, all together it rained 124 mm during our camp, we were wet, tired but determined. We had to work together in teams to survive the weekend. It took a lot of determination, teamwork, motivation and courage but we concurred and completed what we aimed to achieve.
Thank you to Sifunda Kunye for organizing this camp and for supporting us step by step through this journey.
