Student from the Job Hunting Program week
Every time a year, when the children are writing exams, DAKTARI manage a Job Hunting Program week. Usually, DAKTARI welcomes 8 students in the camp from Monday to Friday. But last week the Job Hunting Program was organized in the neighbouring village. Our outreach manager and her team welcomed four local youths looking for a job: Nico, Lucy, Dalene, and Ingrid.
This program focuses on giving these youth the skills they need to find a job. They had lessons on CV writing, cover letter writing, job interview skills, and using email to reach out to potential employers and following up on applications. Then, once a month, a workshop is organized in the village to follow up the students if they need more help.
For a week the students worked hard and have left the Job Hunting Program with a renewed hope of finding a job. We are confident that these hardworking individuals will soon be employed.

waste management project
The outreach program manages eco-clubs in two local schools to teach the kids about environmental subjects such as conservation. A second part of the program is a waste management project with the local community. The village has a terrible rubbish problem. The aim of this project is to work with the Oaks village to try to solve their lack of responsible waste management.
On March 1st the Outreach Manager and her assistant met with the market committee of the Oaks Village to discuss the cause of the rubbish problem in the village and what solutions can be put in place.
This meeting was also the opportunity to give them two wheelbarrows which had been donated by Lasher Tools, and to do a rubbish clean with the committee members at the marketplace.
The next step of this project is to meet with the other committees in the village to discuss the problem and unite on a greater level.
Thank you again for your valuable contribution.
Kinds Regards,
The DAKTARI Team

A New Year
By Amelia McKinlay | Marketing Manager

2017 was a very busy year for our outreach project. We hosted 52 eco-clubs in two schools, had 43 young adults attend our Job Hunting program and ran 3 Job Hunting workshops in the Oaks village! We also participated in a large community clean up for Nelson Mandela day in July.
It has been a great year with some of the highlights including a special field trip with the eco-club to Moholoholo Rehabilitation Center and a chess competition hosted in November for the children at Maahlamele School.
Over the past year, we have been working hard to redesign and update our Job Hunting program. The first week of the program will begin on January 15th where we will welcome 8 unemployed youths to the camp to help them get the skills they need to find a job. Given the numerous updates we have made to the program, we hope 2018 will be our most successful year yet!
In two weeks time, the eco-club will start again at Maahlamele and Rakgolowana Schools. Our Outreach Manager has been busy creating a fun and enriching curriculum for the children this year!
Thank you for your continued support, without which this would not be possible. We are excited for the year ahead and look forward to starting 2018 with a focus on the community!
Best wishes,
The DAKTARI team.
