During June and July 2009, TWBSA conducted 3 week-long workshops at TRINSET (Eastern Cape Leadership Institute) with 700 teachers from 16 of the 23 Eastern Cape school districts. We are grateful to Duma, Fuzile, and Johan from the EC DoE for their tireless efforts in coordinating the logistics of transporting and housing 700 educators, and hosting the TWBSA team. Even at maximum capacity, the TRINSET kitchen staff were outstanding! Our thanks also to the various donors, family and friends who made these largest-ever workshops such a success. TWBSA also dedicated its 7th computer lab at a rural school in South Africa. In a partnership with Cornell University, TWBSA’s 7computer labs serve more than 4000 rural school learners in 3 provinces.
