In the past 3 years (2013-2016) SCE was housed at a Transnet property in Crosby which is located 100m from the settlement. The lease unfortunately was not renewed and we vacated the premises in July 2016. From January 2014, we collaborated with a local church organisation called Mayfair Baptist Church who supplied hotdogs to the kids every Friday to the AWANA program. They also assisted in running holiday programmes during the Winter holidays in July.
These programmes hosted approximately 400-500 kids from surrounding communities, and 20 international volunteers as well as 10 local volunteers. The activities arranged included puppet shows, games, creative arts, meals and many more. We were truly grateful for this collaboration as it ensured many were reached and proved that much can be done with working together and collaboration through pooling resources and sharing what you have for the benefit of all.
