Leaving South Africa (or left already)

Many of our TEFL graduates have left the country or will be leaving soon.

Ciska Lourens has been in Thailand for a while now, and is loving it! See the pic of her on her bicycle!

Fleur Loram has just signed another contract with a school in Nagasaki, Japan. She teaches English to Elementary kids - have a look at the pics of her with her class.

Kate Ribet is currently in Kenya, and will be travelling to Far East soon. We'll keep you updated with news from her soon.

Refilwe Nkomo is busy packing her bags! She's off to South Korea to teach English, and is looking forward to it.

Katarina Thillerup is travelling both locally and abroad. Originally from Denmark, Katarina says she loves South Africa and would love to stay. She'll be coming back to teach Danish at Langahead soon!

So who's holding down the fort at Langahead?

Kate Strauss has taken over the Communication English classes on Saturdays, and teaches Elementary English.

Earle Kaltwasser is in charge of the Beginner students, and also teaches on Saturdays.

Eras Gous teaches English to Elementary students during the week, and is looking to travel soon.

Ang Lloyd has the tough job of teaching Advanced English every morning, and getting her students 'EXAM ready'.

Beate Lombard teaches Intermediate English in the evenings, and is also our Office Administrator.

Manuela Cawood, has adapted her well-earned TEFL to teach Portuguese as a foreign language, and does so in the evenings and on Saturdays.

We're looking forward to hearing from all Langahead's TEFL graduates, whether at home in Sunny South Africa, or abroad.

A short message from Cynthia Brites (who is about to go to Angola)

It was an amazing experience, an amazing endurance test, an amazing test of determination.
What did it prove to me?
That I can work harder than I ever thought, that I have the energy to do what I can and must, and that I really enjoy a challenge.
What did I get from you? [Langahead]
The most impressive thing was the encouragement given to all of us. It came across strongly in your determination that we would get it right, and I cannot leave out the life skills I have learned from you.
I would like to say that the decision to come to this school was the best choice I could have ever made. You have given, given, given and I can only say thank you for that.
The way we were treated here (at a small school) has made all the difference in the world. Don't change!
