Dream2Read
Dream2Read founded by Samantha Tesner, has been in effect for the past 4-5 years and focuses on the provision of free tutoring to children attending English-medium schools but for whom, English is not a home language.
Participants in a Dream2Read tutoring program are mainly Xhosa, Zulu or Sotho speaking children who are being taught in the English medium but who, predominantly due to Apartheid and Verwoerd's Bantu Education Act(1953) (the deliberate policy of inferior educational provision for black people which stunted the education of generations of learners) do not speak the language at home and because of overcrowded classes at educational institutions, have 'slipped through the cracks'.
