Ryan Johnson and I called the phase that
Sophakama is going through at the moment: “Labor pains”. We
are busy finalising the constitution and thinking through the values
and principles that the organisation will operate by.
The Tutor Program is growing at a
steady pace and we have already 9 volunteers that are working with 32
children on a weekly basis. We are encouraged by the progress that
we can see in these kids abilities. Only yesterday the Headmaster of
Diaz Primary School surprised Bongiwe and I with a thank you on
behalf of the school and a confirmation from the teachers, that they
are seeing progress in the kids that we started with last term. This
is good news for us.
Ryan is planning a community workshop
in June on the subject “Saving”. Other than that he is
concentrating on his studies in Stellenbosch.
Bongiwe got married to Bongani Robin on
23 March. We congratulate them with this big step and wish them a
beautiful future together.
I went to KKNK during the Easter
holidays and came back with an interest in Adam Small's writings.
Here is a quote out of Klein simbole nommer 20: “As daar nou wit en
swart en bruin bly, dan is die grootste hiervan die liefde.”
