The positive change was set in motion when Ramodike, who is also a local pastor in a Zion Christian Church, was trained on this programme by the Scientology Volunteer Ministers in 2019. Immediately implementing it in his school and produced groundbreaking results. “I had the privilege of attending a seminar where I was introduced to a free life skills community development programme called ‘Tools for Life’, it became clear to me that God had led me to the right place,” said Ramodike.

Ramodike says the programme trained him on skills to handle study difficulties, communication, conflict resolution, achieving goals, ethics and many more. After the Learner Support training from the Scientology Volunteer Ministers, he knew exactly how to improve his community, starting with his learners which brought fantastic results.

Ramodike said the principal of Makgongoana Secondary School, Dr Shapule Modjadji was instrumental in the successful implementation of these learner support tools. He said that with the leadership style of Modjadji, they found a way to pilot and put into application the valuable skills that he learned, and together with the rest of the school teachers, they worked very hard to make this a success which brought renewed hope for the future ahead and their model still works to this day.  

“These Tools for Life really changed my life because they are applicable in any situation in society. They help me facilitate lessons, help my fellow pastors in Church, handle my household affairs and anything life can throw at me. We are more than just helping kids pass; we are also ensuring that they become valuable and contributing members of society who can make a positive change,” said Ramodike.
