The Ingrid Education Centre is an oasis in the middle of the Matopeni slum area, where poverty, hunger, illness and deprivation ravage. The school was founded by a local group of volunteer teachers who saw the need to bring the local children education to improve their futures in a very harsh environment.

Later each of them were allocated a class where the host teacher thought the kids inorder the volunteer could see what it is like teaching these young ones.Bryn teamed up with teacher Norah in Grade 3 and 4.
