At KGVI boarding school for disabled and deaf students Courage teaches the deaf seniors as she has excellent sign language skills and is a dedicated and skilled teacher. Her subjects are accounts, bookkeeping, English and dance/drama. She herself is in a wheelchair and cannot reach the blackboard to give her lessons. She relies on a laptop and projector and prepares her lessons on these as well. She achieved 80% pass rate in her subjects last year. Unfortunately the rather ancient laptop and projector the school had found for her are now unreliable. KGVI now would like to provide her with new essential tools.
About KGVI
Accommodation
In Zimbabwe KGVI Center is one of the few organisations for children with disabilities and deaf students. The children come from all over the country. They go only go home for holidays, at least ..if they still have a home. (For the growing number of orphans the Center organizes permanent housing.) All children stay in small units with an accompanying house parent, to create a family situation as much as possible. The children develop their self-reliance in the units by sharing household chores, managing a budget for groceries and preparing nutritious meals.
Education and training
KG VI offers tailor made education to its pupils and focuses especially on the capabilities and talents of the pupil. The school prepares them for further education or a job, by organizing job training. For example, there is a hair salon on site where deaf girls can learn to be hairdresser. And another example is that the center was promoter of the first dictionary of the national sign language (published in 2011), where experts from all over Zimbabwe have contributed to.
