GRATITUDE MESSAGE
We are deeply honoured to share that our Managing Director, Rev. Thembelani George Vazi, has recently participated as a speaker at the 8th International Conference on the Right to Development, held at the University of Siena, Italy, from 4–6 November 2025.
The conference, held under the theme “Critical Minerals and the Right to Development,” brought together global leaders, scholars, policymakers, and activists committed to advancing justice and sustainable development. Rev. Vazi’s contribution reflected his lifelong dedication to social justice, human rights, and community transformation.
His participation was not only a personal milestone but also a significant achievement for our organisation, strengthening our voice in international spaces and connecting our grassroots advocacy with global development dialogues. The insights and partnerships gained through this experience will greatly enhance our ongoing work for equity, sustainability, and human dignity in South Africa and beyond.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the University of Siena and the organising committee for this opportunity, and to all our partners and supporters who continue to walk this journey with us.
Together, we keep the spirit of justice alive The Great Kei Teenagers Against Drug Abuse Foundation for Human Rights
