Cida Foundation UK

Family

This is my mother with her granddaughters. Two of them are already schooling. One is in grade 3 (Lesego) and the other one is in grade 2 (Jessica). My mother is the one who motivates me everyday that I must not lose hope because I still have a long way to go.

Home

This is my home. We are twelve in the family. I am the second child to be at varsity level in my family. My family is very close. They do whatever it takes to see us educated. My younger brother completed his matric in 2005 but due to financial problems he was forced to stay home. But now he is at Technical College (CN Mahlangu) furthering his studies.

Friends

These are my class mates and my friends, John and Sello. They are in some classes with me. In our spare time we play scrabble. They also do cycling.

Sport

This is the CIDA football team. I am the goal keeper in the team. We have two major leagues that we are participating in. So far we are leading in both leagues. We had a tournament in July where I won a trophy, for the Player of the Tournament, through the guidance of our coach Augostinos Isak. He is a good coach who has faith in his players. The players are also being inspired by the coach. They perform maximally to make our college more recognizable.

My former teachers

These are some of my former teachers. They are very supportive; they do what it takes to see someone achieving their goals. Their efforts have led and guided three students to study abroad. In 1994 one student passed with flying colours and he was awarded a scholarship to study in Britain. In 1999 there were another two top students who were awarded the scholarship to study in Malaysia; one of them is my brother (Sydney Ramatsetse). Then in 2002 the other one went to Cuba to further his studies also.

High School

This is the high school where I completed my Matric. It was established in 1980. Then in 1982 the government started to intervene in helping them. The pass rate of the school is almost 100% in each an every year.

My principal

This is my principal Mr. Norman Mohlamonyane. He encouraged and guided me until I found CIDA. He is a person who does his utmost best to help the students who are struggling especially in terms of financial constraints. His efforts in helping the students helped a lot, as at least there are few who are studying at the tertiary level.

Teaching

These are some of the students that I used to teach during school holidays. I started in 2005, back then they were in Grade 9. Their progress is very promising as they are now in Grade 11.
