Our Dedicated Team

Jean Mackenzie

Administrator

Jean takes care of virtually everything that HELP needs as we have a very small team. She buys the food necessary for the day, ensures that there is sufficient stationery, promotes HELP whenever and wherever she can, makes sure the kids are well taken care of as far as possible and generally makes sure that HELP runs smoothly on every level.

Geoginah Munyayi

Teacher Heathfield Primary

Geoginah is a qualified primary school and remedial teacher from Zimbabwe. She teaches and prepares the work for the learners at Heathfield Primary school and ensures that the HELP is filling the learning gaps that the children have and where they are struggling with certain concepts. She marks their work and sits with them one on one when they have difficulties with academics and also social issues.

Langton Munyayi

Teacher Thomas Wildschutt

Langton is HELP's teacher at Thomas Wildschutt Senior Primary and his job is also to take care of all the academic work of the HELP learners. He has the patience of a saint and is masterful at dealing with many of the issues that our learners might have. Langton and Geoginah are a husband and wife team and reflect the stability of a sound marriage and instils morals and values in the children by their example.

Pat Africa

Sustenance Provider

Pat is our delicious sandwich maker and is the person responsible for preparing the sustenance for the HELP children daily. They come to HELP straight after sitting in class all day and are often hungry and thirsty. Pat takes care of their needs. We often joke “what would we do without Pat” but in fact it is a reality. She is a mother and a care taker for both the HELP staff and the children. A wonderful team member.

Berry Smith

Teacher Heathfield Primary

Berry is a grade 2 teacher at Heathfield Primary school and nothing can keep her away from ensuring that her little ones are getting the information and teaching that they need. She comes straight after school to sit with the grade 2s in HELP so that she can teach them one on one. She makes the learning fun and exudes her warmth to us all.

Rifqa Lakay

Finances

Rifqa is the person who takes care of our finances and what would we do without her! Rifqa works for Charlene’s sons, Anton & Evan, and they kindly allowed us to use their services to ensure that our finances run smoothly. We are very fortunate to have such a pleasant and efficient colleague.

Andre Pretorius

Retired Principal Heathfield

Andre is the retired principal of Heathfield Primary school and is one of our trusted trustees. His expertise, experience and input is invaluable and especially now that Charlene is no longer with us we rely on his wisdom when issues arise. Andre cannot stay away from education and is presently teaching at a school in Ocean View – such is his commitment to the future of our country.

Charles Jansen

Ex-Principal Thomas Wildschutt

Charles Jansen is another of our wonderful trustees and was the principal of Thomas Wildschutt Senior. Another hero dedicated to education Charles is heavily involved in a teaching program in Nyanga.

Ayeza Stuurman

Trustee at HELP

Ayeza was head of security at the Cape Town Airport until COVID struck and is also a trustee with enormous experience and understanding of our children. We can always go to him for advice and get a better sense of where some of the children are battling emotionally or psychologically.

Anita Martin

Trustee

Anita has dedicated her services to HELP as a trustee and volunteer every week. Anita would be seen sitting usually with the grade 6s and giving them sound life advice. She spoke with them about all sorts of things as well as assisting them with their academics. A more encouraging and motherly figure one would battle to find.
