A Special Thank You
My eerste kennismaking met Elohim was in 2017 toe ek ‘n alternatief gesoek het vir my Graad 10 seun wat op daardie stadium in ‘n hoofstroomskool was. Die klein groep opset het hom soos ‘n handskoen gepas en met behulp van Elohim se ondersteunende tutors het hy op akademiese en emosionele gebied floreer. Vandag is hy klaar met sy naskoolse studies en besig om sy passie uit te leef – hy doen tans illustrasiewerk vir die uitgewer van kinderboeke. Hy sal die goeie tye by Elohim vir altyd koester.
