Our organisation ended the year 2018 with a December school holiday program. We started the holiday club on the 13th December and ended on the 20th December 2018.
The holiday club was hosted at four of our high risk violent and gang infested areas in the Western Cape.
Each of the holiday clubs had between 50-80 scholars aging from 6 years old to 16 years old. This was an appropriate opportunity for Fikelela to introduce all our programs of which Jerry Giraffe is one for children age 5 years to 10 yeards old.
We focused on introducing lessons around rules why and why must we have rules, consequenses of not obeying the rules, on the first day the children were asked to implement rules for the holiday club. On agreement of the rules made working with the participants more successful and pleasant.
It was recommended that the Jerry Giraffe program be used more often when dealing with young children as it together with hard work and commitment of all role players, made the holiday club experience very successful and memorable.
