3 R's: "READING. RUNNING. RIGHT-ING"
The “3 R’s: Reading, Running and Right-ing” programme is based on a philosophy of holistic development and a belief in ‘Healthy Body, Healthy Mind’.

The first hour of the programme focuses on literacy development (Reading). Our 3 R’s Curriculum is aimed at children from age 6 – 16 years and is in alignment with the South African Department of Education’s National Curriculum. We integrate our own life themes with each literacy activity to ensure children receive lifelong learning.

The second hour of the programme focuses on the physical development and wellbeing of the children (Running). We focus on fitness, motor skills development, team building and play. Children joining the programme form part of our running teams. The teams take part in monthly fun runs and cross country leagues.

In order to qualify to run the monthly event, each child must read 2 books per week, must complete the literacy worksheets, must partake in the sports programmes and must show responsible behaviour and good attitude.

We also teach and encourage ‘right’ living to the children (Right-ing). The idea of right living refers to right life style, right choices, right attitude, right behaviour: ‘right me’.

3 R’S + 1: RIDING
With the support of our partners Pedal Power, Art4Art and Manic Cycles we are now introducing these fortunate farm children to mountain biking. In 2008 we purchased 15 new bikes, helmets, cycling kit and tools plus a bike trailer... and then added another 39 new bikes in 2009!!! The bikes are stationed at the various farm projects, allowing the children to use them in the afternoons. Bikes are a reward for work well done and good general behaviour: No Read - No Ride!!, what a wonderful incentive to do your homework! Our bike manual teaches the children about safe cycling, bike care and maintenance, correct use of the bike and riding of the bikes. Read on...

Both Stellenbosch Primary and Bloemhof High school are two of the leading schools in South Africa and we are very proud to be offering this life changing opportunity to these children. The Anna Foundation will provide after school support to these children to ensure they have every opportunity to succeed.  Read on...
