Dearest Community
One of our Community members, Business Leader Mel Lachenicht, reached out to ask if there are any other schools grappling with the question of how to communicate with parents during Lockdown (currently at Level 3). Given that not everyone has smartphones and that data is still an expensive commodity, Mel and principal Simon Mnisi devised a plan to make use of bulk SMS's. LPF Mariette Myburgh worked with the partners to reach out to communication service providers to get sponsorships for their efforts. The question however still remains: "What has been done by other schools in similar situations?" Your input will be greatly appreciated.
