1st Quarter

2009
INTRODUCTION
The first quarter has been a learning curve for me as the newly appointed personnel at TRAC SA. The work is a challenge but the support one gets
from all stakeholders within the project (School management, Sponsors, Educators, Subject facilitators) is remarkable. Learners love the programme
and will benefit from it.

Dear Martin,
RE:             REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL MOBILE LABORATORY SUPPORT IN DISTRICT GAUTENG NORTH
With reference to our meeting on 13 May 2009 at Lingitjudu and our telephonic conversation on 18 May 2009, I would like to express our appreciation for the
input of your company and the sponsors to help the 4 schools in Ekangala to improve their Physical Science marks by providing help to the educators and
learners. The TRAC mobile laboratory is an excellent tool used in helping learners to do practical work and teach them skills. I have been to the schools,
 unannounced, to monitor the programme and it is done in an excellent way. You have an excellent tutor, Pilane Sehole, that knows what he is doing and also
 how to work with the learners.
I hereby request you to include the following schools also in the programme, since they lack the necessary facilities to do practical work with the learners.
Names of schools in Bronkhorstspruit and Cullinan for additional Mobile laboratory support in Physical Science
Yours in Tirisano

WIRELESS INTERNET PROJECT
SACRED sponsored the erection of the main wireless transmission 
tower to support 6 schools with internet connections.
The 6 schools currently do not have access to e‐mail and internet. So 
learners and educators cannot access learning materials, research papers 
and link to other education institutions.
Individual  antennas linking with the main tower supplied to all the 6 
schools.
SACRED funded and sponsored wireless internet and e‐mail 
infrastructure to all the 6 schools.
SACRED supplied 2 new computers to each of the 6 schools for wireless 
internet connections.
Now all the 6 schools have access to e‐mail and internet.
SCHOOL LIBRARY PROJECT
Delivering a containerised library in one of the schools in Ekangala
SACRED has donated two containerised libraries to schools in Ekangala
as part of the roll out. We still need more funds to roll out to 4 
remaining schools.
The interior of the containerised library with book shelves
We urgently need to equip each library with a new computer and desk 
to have a data of all books.
A consignment of new library books donated by SACRED for two 
schools 
All the 6 schools supported by SACRED does not have libraries and 
learners do not have access to reading materials.
• SACRED now has a positive impact on the 
  Education & Development of 5227 children.
