@NicSpaull @Siviwe_G @CyrilRamaphosa @tito_mboweni More important than all of this, is prioritising the first 1000 days of children’s education, which we know are where the building blocks for the literacy and numeracy are formed. Grade R is still too late. https://t.co/p7Brpx4mS2

@DKAMBinSA Welcome ambassador, we have many friends in Denmark and love your country and its people. We hope you feel welcome here.

@koko_matshela There is no doubt you and Mr Molefe were excellent and highly intelligent leaders. If only you had remained squeaky clean, then the current government would have had no reason to remove you.
Both of you contributed significantly in this way to the mess we are now in.

@UrbanLo This is why we have turned down big funding to keep our focus on listening to the community members and walking with them and their dreams. Not ours.
People are more important than projects and sustainability is when we close down because the poor do not need anyone to help.

[Stu Walker @Stu_Walker_]

@Piet_PompiesSA @PMGeducator Do you know that lots of research shows that uplifting the poor is key to everyone in society becoming better off. Eg. https://t.co/krWWojjVdo

Once we have identified God as a baby born into poverty and peril, a refugee fleeing a Middle East despot, a common laborer living in occupied territory, we have to rethink everything about greatness. #Christmas

@nickhedley Definitely.

@nickhedley Although it is a book that looks at the macro level, it can be related down to even something like this that you are doing.

[Stu Walker @Stu_Walker_]

@nickhedley Hey Nick, great job!
Have you ever read the book: Dead Aid by Dambisa Moyo?

@vsop5050 And support initiatives that reduce the need for orphanages.

@UrbanLo For children, the research is clear.
But only successful if implemented taking into account Freire's principles.
Its not simple or easy but possible if we truly care.

@nickhedley @HermanMashaba There is a direct correlation between juvenile detention and lack of early childhood education. Amongst other things.

@nickhedley @HermanMashaba When it comes to data driven root causes this is what matters...
