From March 6th-30th South African teacher, Nonhlanhla Ntshingila will be sharing her talents with our Hamlin students and faculty. Ms. Ntshingila will work closely with Social Studies teacher, Heather Smith, as they explore 6th grade curriculum that focuses on South Africa. Hamlin has participated with Teach With Africa in the past and we look forward to this year’s cross-cultural exchange.

Nonhlanhla Ntshingila is from Alexandra Township in Johannesburg, South Africa. She went to Minerva high school and is currently studying towards a Bachelor of Education in intermediate and senior phase through Unisa (University of South Africa).

Nonhlanhla majors in Math and IsiZulu, one of the official languages in South Africa. She specifically chose to be a primary school teacher because she believes that it is the foundation for a quality education.

Teach With Africa is a non-profit organization empowering students and teachers in a reciprocal exchange of teaching and learning in Africa and the United States. Teach With Africa seeks to reduce the embedded inequities in our societies by working to provide access to quality education in order to transform children’s lives, schools and communities.
