This week has been an exciting one for the young people of Munsieville as The Youth Voice Journalism Project excitingly opened a sister academy in neighbouring township Swanieville, benefitting another group of 20 youngsters alongside Munsieville. The digital camera equipment is also winging its way to South Africa, ready for the launch next week.
I also got a thank you from the staff at Thuto Lefa high school for the Connecting Continents schools exchange programme. The website is in production and all six schools are busy writing their pen-pal letters. We also had a good success this week with the district council, who are helping with trees and seedlings for a greening project in the informal settlement. This will eventually in turn supply a soup kitchen for the orphans and vulnerable children. We are also planning our next clean up day on Feb 26th, building the capacity of the community leaders to know how to run this regular event themselves after we leave.
Thanks for reading,
Neil
