September 2006 saw the amalgamation of the Heart Foundation with the Stroke Foundation and becoming the Heart and Stroke Foundation South Africa. The joining of the two Foundations can only aid in the fight against heart and stroke disease, by creating awareness of the risk factors and focusing on prevention.

Aside from HIV and AIDS related deaths, heart disease and stroke (jointly termed cardiovascular disease) are the number one killer in South Africa. 1 in 3 men and 1 in 4 women will have a heart condition before the age of 60.

The function of the Heart and Stroke Foundation South Africa is to present the vast scientific knowledge of heart disease and stroke to the public in an understandable and applicable manner.

Vision

To create a future where South Africans adopt healthy lifestyles and reduce the number of people who suffer or die from heart, stroke and blood vessel disease.

Mission
Our mission is to raise awareness, educate and drive research on the benefits and characteristics of a healthy lifestyle so that fewer South Africans experience disability or die from cardiovascular disease.

Information and encouragement for parents who choose to teach their children at home

Welcome to this home education website. Your hostess is Kathy le Cordeur, mother of 4 children and with more than 10 years of teaching-at-home experience. The aim of this site is to inform those who are new to home education and to encourage those already on the way. The articles will give you information about home education in general, point you in the direction of further information if required and supply you with resource information so that you are in a position to make the right choices for your family.

Over the past nine years I have written newsletters to inform and encourage the local homeschool community. I have drawn on some of these to form the backbone of the website. All of the newsletter articles are available in the compilation Letters from a Mother’s Heart.

There are many resources now available to home educators. Although I know about most of these, I do not have experience of them all. Thus I include a list of Resources with all the necessary contact details so that you can get further information from the suppliers themselves.

While I hope that you will find the articles on this web site positive and encouraging, I do not pretend that my own home runs perfectly smoothly, nor that I am superbly well organized. I enjoy a wonderful sense of unity with my children at home and we have had many positive and rewarding experiences. But I have also known difficulties, some of which have quite overwhelmed me and others that are ongoing. God’s sufficient and abundant grace has seen me through these trials. The fact that I have had troubles and overcome them, gives me the confidence to face the future. I see that these trials are a normal part of parenting and not an excuse to give up teaching at home. The rewards far outweigh the difficulties!

I trust you find what you need amongst these articles and lists. If you need any further help please feel free to contact me via e-mail.   If you live in the Jo’burg area and prefer personal contact, you are welcome to attend one of my monthly Info Days.

Please note that this website and my monthly Info Days are designed with a specific purpose in mind: to supply information and encouragement to those parents who choose to educate their own children at home. While I have heard that there are some teachers and parents who have opened small private schools in their homes, I do not have a list of such schools nor do I have a list of tutors. Thus, although I would like to be of assistance to all who wish to find an alternative to mainstream education, I do not have the required information for those who wish to place their children in small “homeschools”.
