Dear All,

we are starting to spread further a field with confidence know that the projects we are running back in Tzaneen are continuing in a proper manner. We are able to mover further afield through a new partnership with the Japanese Volunteer Centre. This partnership is taking us to Elim about 1hours drive North of our present position. It is exciting because after spending two days with the 3 Drop In Centres they are fired up and excited about working together and so are their children.

We will start a Journey of Life training which teaches adults about the pitfalls children have to negotiate when growing up. To us this is common knowledge but because of poor education, migrant labour issues, working away from home many parents do not have the basic parenting skills that we take for granted. This training often causes the participants to look back over their own lives and re-evaluate their own issues, this can be very confronting at times as well.

Then we will introduce all the staff to KTD196's children's program which is particularly effective in the rural areas. So by the end of the year we should have trained the staff extensively, followed up on their training with monthly visits plus worked with their parents. Its great to see our replication happening already in another desperately needy area.

We also have had the privilidge to be on international television this last month. If you missed it please go to YouTube on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLjxb2aUF94  or go to http://keepthedream196.com and look for the youtube icon. If you have any comments please dont hesitate to leave me a message on our website under subscribe.

Thank you all once again for your ongoing support. You are making this possible.

Take care all

Louise Batty

 

Being a scout has had a huge impact on my life because it changed the way I think, the way I look at people and the way I look at myself. Being a Scout is not about what you do when you are with other Scouts but it becomes part of your lifestyle.

Joining Scouts is a decision that one makes because you want to change for the good. Scouts changes us in different ways: firstly, you gain confidence. Secondly, you learn how to interact with different people and thirdly you can discover your abilities.


Thank you to KTD196 for bringing Scouts to our area. Join Keep The Dream196 and your life will change forever.
