Trysome Changes Lives…
This article has been supplied.
Gifting Technology to Ithembelihle’s Learners with Special Needs and, in the process, inspiring a change to the school’s Vision and Mission statements.
On Friday 21 February 2020, management and staff of Trysome Electrical Engineering (Pty) Ltd presented the children of Ithembelihle LSEN School in Germiston with the gift of 68 tablets and accessories. This gift was received with great jubilation, a special thank you from the children in every official language and culminated in an inspiring rendition of our National Anthem.
Trysome’s gift is intended to stimulate the children’s natural curiosity, provide easier access to educational support enhancing reading, comprehension and vocabulary as well as mathematical concepts.
While the tablets will also enable access to fun activities and games, there is a therapy aspect to our gift that will enhance vision, enable non-verbal learners to communicate with peers and educators and, through the downloading of special programs, learners unable to use their hands can control the program through eye movements.
These tablets can also be put to great use in the many commercial initiatives run by the school like their coffee shop and car wash where an initial menu choice can then generate an order.
Over the past 10 years, Trysome and Ithembelihle have developed a strong partnership and become good friends. And it all began with a game of golf way back in 2010 where a group of pupils and their teacher very enthusiastically manned one of the holes promoting Ithembelihle and charming all the players out of their money.
A most exciting and involved project was the construction of the Lapa Coffee Shop where students are learning practical cooking and serving skills and the sustainable and commercial aspects of running a profitable business.
Trysome is looking forward to collaborating with Ithembelihle on a journey to develop the nation’s children.
