Support Social Emotional Learning in iLembe District Schools
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
As a certified Emotional Intelligence facilitator and mental fitness coach, I believe in educating hearts to empower teachers and students to be their best selves. Through Social Emotional Learning (SEL), we plant seeds for a more caring, equitable future and for students to be academically prepared as well as socially and emotionally equipped.
For the past two years, I have partnered with the Linc Foundation, a faith-based NGO in the iLembe District of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. This year, 13 teachers participated in my SEL program, using the Teaching with the Heart in Mind model by Dr. Lorea Martinez.
To deepen their impact, I aim to provide students in their classrooms with a Feelings Journal. A Feelings Journal is a safe space for children to explore their emotions through writing, drawing, and reflecting. It helps them develop emotional literacy, self-awareness, creativity, and essential communication skills—key pillars of SEL.
