  • Freedom Primary School in Soweto, Gauteng, came alive with excitement as the Nal'ibali- @trevornoahfoundation Literacy Project hosted a fun-filled Spelling Bee Competition for 12 talented Grade 3 learners recently.

The event began with lively ice breakers that set a cheerful tone before moving into the spelling rounds that had everyone engaged and cheering. 

This was more than just a competition—it was a celebration of learning, confidence, and teamwork. Every participant shone brightly, showing courage and skill that made the school proud.

A huge congratulations to all our young spellers, and a special thank you to our Story Sparkers for making this such a memorable day!

  • Nal'ibali celebrates South Africa's cultural diversity, languages and heritage this Heritage Day!! 

Stories, especially those told in the mother tongue, are the basic building blocks of heritage. Children can learn about their identity, culture, language, heritage, history and customs through stories. Stories can also teach children about other cultures and make them more welcoming to the diversity that exists in our society. 

Nal'ibali has a library of stories that celebrate South Africa's cultural and linguistic diversity. This Heritage Day, share some of our stories about culture, heritage and customs on the Nal'ibali website.
