Paul Brooks, Project HOPE UK's executive director, is off to South Africa this weekend to review progress on The Thoughtful Path: Munsieville.
Since its launch last year, The Thoughtful Path: Munsieville has staged several major events such as the Children's World Cup, the Tshepo festival at Christmas and the Munsieville's Got Talent contest, which have all helped to raise awareness of the programme in the community. Behind the scenes, committees for the seven 'hubs' of the Thoughtful Path have been formed, and the site of the Resource Centre has been agreed with the local council. The first group of carers have started their Early Childhood Development training, and the Youth Journalism Academy has been established with support from Silverstar Casino.
During Paul's visit to Munsieville, he will meet with the hub committees and community leaders to plan next steps for the programme, helping to transform the lives of the orphans and other vulnerable children in the township.
Check back next week for updates from his trip.
