Laser’s corporate social responsibility initiatives.
and is a unique concept designed to systematically grow and develop the
child’s motor competence.
The programme especially emphasizes the development of complex, yet
fundamental movement patterns of balance, locomotion and manipulation.
The programme comprises three elements – a bag of activity tools for
each learner, a learner manual with appropriate activity challenges, and a
teacher manual with assessment rubrics and progress charts.
The programme ties in well with Laser’s focus on the upliftment of children
in need through support of health-related projects and sport development.
Thomas Sithole of Laser Logistics was proud to
assist with the distribution of kits.
