At the end of March the 10 week Love and Life Skills programme came to an end. During this programme we aimed to empower 20 of our Sports Academy students to make good choices about sex, relationships and everything in-between. The programme was very successful with many good conversations being had between the leaders, Hannah, Rory and Suzi and the students. To celebrate the students completing the programme a dinner was held with the young people, here are a few photos from the night, for more head over to our facebook page.

After 2 weeks of volunteering with us we were very sad to say goodbye to the Shankill Team from Belfast, Northern Ireland.  The team was made up of 10 young people from a community service project called the Shankill Area Project.  They worked extensively with the people in the Blanco township of George, touching the lives of so many people as well as impacting their own lives at the same time!  It was really a joy to have you all with us and we hope it won’t be long before we meet again!

Watch this video highlighting just a few experiences that the team had when they were here.

We welcomed a team from the Bethel Church in Redding California, for a week in March. This team was incredible and really touched the lives of everyone they met. They held 11 church services whilst they were here, at Patria Church in the city centre of George as well as a church in the Thembalethu township. All the services were attended my people from all denominations and walks of life and the response was overwhelmingly positive. We thank them for choosing George as their destination and hope that we will see them again soon!

On Friday we were pleased to welcome two new volunteers from the Netherlands.  They will be with us for 3 months. Find out more about them on our blog!
