Just came home from a stunning Circle of Sharing with our team (youth community builders & Re-Integration Team) in Nyanga Township.
We spoke about crime, the fear many live with on a daily basis and how we as SmilingOne can do even more. We already work with the younger generation to break the circle of crime from a young age.
We would like to also spend time attending to more ex-offenders and parolees, working closely with Community Corrections and the families involved. Each person deserves a chance. It is not easy to re-integrate. Intensive care and enrollment in our community initiatives are important keys in this process.
We are currently writing grant applications to be able to roll-out our Re-Integration Programme on a much larger scales. Aim is to take at least 40 ex-offenders under our wings in the first phase. Thabo, Farouk, Chris and Louis (our re-integration team) will play an essential role in guidance and support.
Sharing is Caring
IN GRATITUDE
