| On July 13th, an Edutainer donated by Dame Janet Suzman was delivered to Zenzele near Randfontein in the mining area west of Johannesburg.The Edutainer is the only pre-school serving this informal settlement of several thousand people. The Edutainer will be supported by the Gauteng Department of Health and Social Services (GDHSS) which will train the teachers and register it as a pre-school.
This Edutainer will have a hugely beneficial impact on an impoverished rural area. The entire community arrived to give the Edutainer an ecstatic welcome.
GDHSS has requested Edutainers for selected 58 carefully selected sites in the West Rand area. They will give significant support to all the Edutainers placed on these sites located in poor rural communities, including teacher training, registration with the Department of Health, and ultimately the registration of a fully fledged Grade R classroom. Bright Kid Foundation would like to deliver Edutainers to all of the 58 sites selected, and to have a major beneficial impact on communities in whole West Rand area.

Edutainer Comments
 The edutainer has really helped the school because their grade R class was being taught in toilets before the edutainer arrived. But now they are being taught in this structure. It is also helping them during winter season as they would ... drop out during this time of the year because of not being able to bear with the cold weather in dilapidated mud rondavels."
