The semi-autonomous, non-profit organisation was established in September, 2013, by Tom Shupikai.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cWe started with only five students, and have grown from there,\u201d said Shupikai.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do not, however, want to grow too big and lose our ability to teach the children on a one-on-one basis.\u201d<\/p>\n

The organisation focuses on the transition from Grade Three to Four, and Grade Seven and Eight.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe feel these are significant transition phases.<\/p>\n

\u201cChange can be difficult, but it can also be beautiful,\u201d said Muvhami.<\/p>\n
