My questions are for the alliance and either of the witnesses can answer them. I have about five questions but I will probably only get to ask three, so if we can be as quick as possible we might get to them at the end if there is any more time. I will ask the three questions first and let the witnesses reply to them.

First, why do children whose parents are not working need places in community after-schools? What is the impact of the NCS on marginalised communities? Can the witnesses speak further on the sponsorship and why it is not a way forward for children whose parents are not working?
