Color Run part 2!

By Louise | Managing Director

Children's Rights March 2024

As part of the fun with the Colour Run, we train the children on Children’s Rights and Child Participation. Many of the children who came to this year’s run were very new and very young, so we were not able to go into the depth of what we normally do.

Children’s Rights awareness is always a process, next year as we inculcate them into the Scouts program, learning about Children’s Rights and Child Participation is a part of the process. Next year they will be able properly understand.

After the colour flies, the children then walk throughout Burgersdorp Village singing and attracting attention from the locals. That is when the older scouts and rovers, who have been in the program the longest, stop and talk to the adults about Children’s Rights and Responsibilities but also encourage the adults to participate in scouting and send their children. The atmosphere is so exciting it really is.

It also provides KTD196 with more exposure, so that people are aware we exist and what we do, or at least a portion of what we do! We were expecting just over 100 kids but we ended up with over 300 which was amazing.

I hope you enjoy the photos. You have supported this work, it may just look like fun, but there is a lot of hard work involved in the behind the scenes joy. Your support brings such joy to the children’s faces! Thank you. We are very proud of the work we do, I hope you are as well.

Blessings

Louise

The Joy is wonderful!

KTD196 now has 3 Projects, because of YOU!

By Louise | Managing Director

Avuxeni, minjane? Umfikile Minjane! (Hello how are you? I am well! In Xitsonga)

I have said it before and I will say it again, I love it when donors, supporters and friends get in touch and share their views about KTD196. I love it when people take time out of their busy days to get in touch, be personal and share their heart with me. It is difficult when a conversation is very one way, which this can tend to be. Anyway, I just want to say thank you for all the support over the year.

I know the year is not finished, but I really just wanted to say thank you!

We have finished the interviews for the new positions we have opening up next year. Or at least we have finished round one. Round two is where we look outside of the organization for the necessary personnel and skills. Having fresh blood, people we can mould and make into the staff that the program needs. I am very blessed to have a wonderful management team, who come with informed ideas, skillsets that I don’t have etc. Also have a team that is younger certainly keeps me on my toes.

From next year we will have another layer to management, that of a new Project Officer in SHG and a new Team Leader with the passing of Mum Rose. Then we have the Community Facilitators and the Field Officers. I don’t know if you know that KTD196 now has 3 programs.

Children’s Project
Self Help Group Project
Child Sponsorship Project

Each requires their own staff with different skillsets but what I love is that each staff member knows the projects work and expectations and there is a lot of cross pollination. Even though the end of the year is rapidly advancing, although tired, we are all so passionate about the work we do, the impact we achieve and the changes we see in the people we serve.

All of that is because of your support, because of you having our backs, we are able to do so much more. I have put in a link from Makungu who has shared the impact of KTD196 on her life to date, I hope you enjoy

Thank you from the bottom of my heart and God Bless you

Louise
