πŸ’™ Community in Action for Our Children πŸ’™
We would like to express our deepest gratitude to Primary School, Strelitzia Primary School, and Alfonso Arries Primary School for the incredible support shown during our LIT Day Camp.

These schools, serving communities in the Northern Areas of Gqeberha, demonstrated what it truly means to put children first. Together, they ensured that every learner, facilitator, and teacher was cared for throughout the day with breakfast, snacks, lunch, and even a snack to take home.
When schools, organisations, educators, and communities work together, beautiful things happen. The generosity, kindness, and commitment shown were a powerful reminder that raising and empowering our children is a shared responsibility.

Thank you for partnering with us, believing in our young people, and helping create a day filled with learning, leadership, care, and opportunity. This is what community looks like. This is what investing in our children looks like. Together, we are building a brighter future one child at a time. 🌟

In our mission of empowerment that starts at home first, we are reminded that every step forward matters.

5 of Prevention Workers recently completed a 3-day lay counselling training facilitated by Thalitha Khumi NPO and led by Patricia Arnold. This was a powerful and enriching experience that strengthened their skills, confidence, and commitment to serve.

They are now busy with their practicals, applying what they have learned and continuing to grow through real-life experience. This important step ensures that learning is not only theoretical, but truly translated into meaningful community impact.

We are proud of their growth and dedication, and we look forward with excitement to the next group of Prevention Workers who will also be trained soon. Each training becomes another building block toward stronger, safer, and more supported communities.

This work continues to make a real difference in our schools, afterschool programmes, and the wider community bringing hope, awareness, and prevention where it is needed most.
Together, we are shaping a future of care, strength, and protection. πŸ’™
