Meeghan and I had a very productive meeting today at Goodwood Medium Prison. Part of partnering with DCS in rehabilitation is to do comprehensive and clear reporting, daily, monthly and quarterly. We received all the new and updated annexures today. They are very clear and will assist us to track attendance of our programme participants. We are excited to add the new annexures to our reporting.
And we look forward to continue working hand in hand with DCS and to take LOVING ACTION for our beautiful South Africa!
SCHOOL KIT
I am SO excited!!!! I brought the 'School Kit' to Nyanga this morning and Bongani (SmilingOne Youth Community Builder) has already visited two schools to speak to the principals and arrange sessions with the students for next week. The schools - all in the area of Nyanga - are opening the doors for SmilingOne and The Responsible Individual

INTERVIEW WITH CONSENSUS
It has been such a great privilege to share some of the SmilingOne Journey with Victoria from Consesus. I truly enjoyed the interview! Read her article Welcome to Smiling One

OPENING DOORS
I had such an inspiring day.
It started off with a 3hour intense community building workshop with Meeghan.
Meeghan is one of our qualified coaches. She wants to bring THE RESPONSIBLE INDIVIDUAL and a CIRCLE OF CHANGE to Pollsmoor Women's Prison. This would be our FIRST prison process with Women. One of our strong focuses in 2011.
Meeghan has for the past one and a half year assisted our prison process in Goodwood Prison for men and is also active with our Re-Integration Team and Youth.
SCHOOL KIT:
Our Youth Community Builder Team in Nyanga has made Schools and bringing THE RESPONSIBLE INDIVIDUAL to the Students one of their main objectives for 2011. I have been busy preparing a 'School Presentation Kit' with name/team badges, presentation letters to the schools etc. This is such an exciting step! Our Team will go to the schools, share of their personal journeys and invite students to join the team - all to build a healthy, green and safe community.
DOORS OPENING:
It has also been a day of (re)connecting. New and 'Old' Friends. Loving when doors open and I am invited to explore exciting possibilities - always adding to the wonderful path that I and the SmilingOne Team is walking...
These doors are everywhere!
Tomorrow Wednesday is normally my prison day. However - the Juvenile Prison (which would have been my task) only opens up after the 4th of Feb. So tomorrow I will continue to knock on lots of doors and invite opportunity!

Back at Goodwood Prison
We are BACK!!! I must say that 6 weeks is a looooong time away from something you enjoy so much. Even if the holidays were wonderful it is GREAT to be back!
Meeghan and I had such inspiring sessions today. In our first 2hour session we had 14 participants (including Welcome and Louis who are in coach training) and another14 participants in our second 2hour session.
The guys were excited to start the year off diving deeper into their journeys of self discovery and to walk the change they had welcomed into their lives. What stood very clear for me today was CHOICE: each one coming today CHOSE to be there... simply because they had chosen to make themselves a priority. It was stunning to see their commitment to SELF and the process.
For myself - I feel so energized and so RICH after our sessions. Lots of windows were opened in the circles - lots of gifts for my journey of Guidance and Learning.
I look forward to update you weekly on our processes within the Goodwood Prison! Watch this space ; )
