nostr:npub1g3aqekerzspf3j288r03ugpyn54yq09h7mld56fdf8rewvdc0upqwh0l3q just finished reading 'The Bitcoin Standard' by nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak

Bongani is a 15-year-old learner in Gr. 10 at Indwe Secondary School in Mossel Bay.

He's been with The Surfe Kids for several years, but when we opened Ekasi Center in 2022, he gravitated towards learning more about #Bitcoin

Everyday, after school, Monday to Friday, he works as a teacher's assistant with our full-time teacher, nostr:npub1lsguzhxl7vt93e86xusyp78dhc76su4llv2h463zqdgxy25j3tvqaemmvv, at Ekasi Center, helping her run daily Bitcoin Diploma classes, as part of the My First Bitcoin network.

Bongani started working his way through 'The Bitcoin Standard' in Oct 2023 and finished it this week, with the help of a volunteer tutor, nostr:npub1a95w2zch0gqfa0vhlgygz0xklwxccw6st88qkmhsk8d3tke2sqaqamsnzq. In Bongani's own words, "this was the longest book he's ever read", and he had to learn a lot of new vocabulary, which impressed his tutor. The feedback from Jason was very positive.

Jason and Bongani had weekly calls, where they would discuss the book, chapter by chapter, often breaking chapters up into sub sections.

Super appreciative of the effort by nostr:npub1a95w2zch0gqfa0vhlgygz0xklwxccw6st88qkmhsk8d3tke2sqaqamsnzq

This is an incredibly valuable contribution for which we're beyond grateful.

Jason and Bongani will continue their work together and I've been told that the next book in line is 'Why Buy Bitcoin' by Andy Edstrom.

I am optimistic about the future because of kids like Bongani.
