 What Our Delegates Say?

SAALED Annual Seminar - 25 June 2025

“We arrived home safely and are still reflecting on what a truly special experience it was. From the moment we arrived, we felt like VIPs, so warmly welcomed and looked after by your wonderful team. The conference was incredibly well organised, with such attention to detail, and it was a pleasure to be part of an event with such a friendly, professional atmosphere.

We gained so much, not only valuable knowledge from excellent presenters, but also meaningful connections and relationships that we truly value. It was inspiring to engage with so many passionate educators and we’re excited about the potential for future collaboration.

We deeply value this relationship and look forward to building on it for the benefit of educators in Botswana as well. We’re very much looking forward to the upcoming webinar on 24 July and will be sure to share the flyer widely.

Warmest regards,
Bev and Tamryn”
