An emotional day...
♥ Today has been an emotional day. Not being able to go to our team in the Worcester Prisons (due to lack of funding) has touched something deep within me. It is such a gift to look at this within - and to stand open, authentic and vulnerable. I reach out my hand and humbly ask for help to keep our processes running, igniting light in the darkest of places. Help me and SmilingOne carry the torch of transformation ♥
Let your heart speak!
Today was supposed to be my prison day. No funding - not able to go up north to our team. However - it is still an exciting day here in Cape Town. I am meeting with potential sponsor... oh and I just lost my voice... all meaningful... that's the beauty of it - it actually speaks for itself! ; ) I am soooo grateful! Have a stunning Wednesday everyone ♥ Let your HEART speak ♥
KNOCK KNOCK
.. hundreds of inmates in 7 Western Cape prisons, 100 children in the Nyanga Township, a strong and committed team of change agents needs YOUR help! Without funding and the support from sponsors we cannot sustain neither expand our facilitation of THE RESPONSIBLE INDIVIDUAL in prisons, throughout re-integration and in youth/community upliftment. Help us carry the torch of transformation ♥
In Nyanga Township
LOVE our kids in the Nyanga Township! What a beautiful day of sharing and caring!
Today we had another wonderful workshop in Nyanga with the youth and our SmilingOne Team. We meet every Saturday 10am-2pm.
We started the day picking up our food donation from SHOPRITE Philippi (Thank You!!!)
Next step was to divide the kids into task groups - today we had a tomato, a leek, a carrot and an onion task group. Each group preparing the ingredients for our meal. Today we had plenty of tomatoes and decided to do a tomato soup.
Then we joined in a Moment of Silence... learning to tap into the centre of our being, silencing, relaxing, observing, breathing.... just being.
Game/play time...
At 12.30pm food was ready and everybody helped to dish for our 60 kids participating today.
1-2pm we had our team meeting - reflecting upon the day with the youth, exploring thoughts and ideas going forward. We have been looking for containers for a while to setup our own office space and the recycling SWOP SHOP. This is one area that is really urgent! We spoke about maybe looking into building an office (instead of container). We are grateful for donations in this regard! We do need your helping hand!! : )
