- Carpet a Creche Campaign, Diepsloot
- Every year we work to upgrade the crèches (childcare facility) in Diepsloot in some way. Most of the babies and toddlers take their naps during the day on cement floors, often with just a thin blanket underneath them. Most crèches have very little carpet.
- The Three Desert Team
- A team of some of our teenagers and young volunteers embarked on a trip through the arid landscape of three deserts: the Karoo, the Namib, and the Kalahari, with a mission to make a difference in the lives of other young people.
- Limpopo––Reaching Out in the Rural Areas
- We took a trip to the northern province of Limpopo as we had been receiving requests for our programme of HIV/AIDS education from the schools there. One of our part-time volunteers comes from Limpopo, so he was very enthusiastic that we visit his own community.
- Sport Against Crime
- Limpopo––Reaching Out in the Rural Areas On a recent visit to Limpopo we were able to spend time with some of the members of the Sport Against Crime youth group. There are 120 teenagers in the group, and they have been managing with only one football between them for several months!
