<br />
Friday mornings were so much more than just riding a horse. The children learnt valuable life skills that they could demonstrate in other situations.<br />
<br />
As well as learning how to work with horses and grooming skills, they learnt communication skills, turn taking, sharing, following instructions, keeping themselves safe and most of all they had the opportunity to be children and just have some plain old fashioned fun.<br />
<br />
Do you own or work at stables? Are you in Pretoria? Would you be willing to offer your time and use of stables to enable the children to 'get back in the saddle?' if you can please <a href="https://twitter.com/kwo_org" target="_blank">tweet us</a> or find us on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/kungwini?fref=ts" target="_blank">Facebook</a> or visit our <a href="http://www.kwo.org.za/" target="_blank">website for contact details</a>.<br />

At Lethabong there is no electricity or running water and no
electricity for one resident has had a massive impact on her life. She is no
longer able to supplement her salary with curtain making, alterations and
repairs. The drop in salary affects her ability to feed and clothe her children
and purchase the necessary supplies they need for school.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As a little girl, Regina watched her Mother sewing and
taught her to hand sew, but she was a curious child and used to sneak a go on
her Mother’s sewing machine and discovered a passion for it and is actually
rather good at it. It seems it’s a family trait with her 12 year old daughter,
who visited her Grandmother over Christmas and used every last needle making
paper bags for her friends.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You know how annoying it is when there is a power cut and
you can’t take a hot shower, make a cup of tea, charge your phone or relax in
front of the TV. For Regina and others like her, these are luxuries that she
lives without everyday and access to electricity means more to her than you
could possibly imagine.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Electricity for Regina means so much more than putting the
kettle on and watching TV, it means work, income, food and education.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not only would a solar panel provide enough electricity for
her to run her sewing machine it would mean she could teach sewing classes,
repairing and altering clothes, she could make school uniforms and book/chair
bags for the other families in Lethabong at a much cheaper price than the shops
sell them for. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Would you consider donating to the Lethabong Community? They
already run art and pottery classes, teaching people new skills for the job
market, providing an outlet at Markets to sell their crafts, developing money
management and social skills, empowering the community.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A solar panel, converter and battery would make a huge
change to the lives of people in Lethabong.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Can you help?</div>

<br />
The school closed early in December and the shoebox volunteers were occupied with their British families visiting them in South Africa and visiting the UK. So with the children only returning to school this week it was a lovely start to the new term.<br />
<br />
The children sat patiently in the shade from the sun while their names were called out for them to receive their boxes and while they waited they enjoyed a drink and a cake.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We run the following projects and would love to hear from you if you would like to join us.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our Child and Youth Care Centre aims to provide a safe and nurturing environment to teenagers who have no other place of refuge. The teens in our home are coping with psychiatric difficulties and/or developmental delays.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Many of these teens have been placed in foster care, children's homes or adopted. Unfortunately these placements have failed and the children do not have any alternative placements.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Protective Workshop is an employment opportunity for adults with disabilities, not just residents of PJH. Employees are provided with the opportunity to acquire the skills to produce handmade items. This also contributes to each individual's sense of accomplishment and dignity. Products from the workshop are available on our online store, the Nickel Xmas Market and on order.<span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 1.5em; text-align: justify;">We believe in the importance of education. As for</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em; text-align: justify;">mer President Nelson Mandela said <em>"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world"</em>. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This belief inspired us to open two Early Learning Centres in Lethabong and Zwavelpoort. The school in Lethabong caters for 110 preschool children while the Swavelpoort school caters for 30 preschool children.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This service is provided to children whose parents cannot afford conventional preschool fees. Each child is provided the opportunity to attend school five days a week and receive two meals a day.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Many families, especially those residing in rural areas, are facing numerous challenges that compromise their emotional, mental and physical wellbeing. These families often face extreme poverty, lack of service delivery, lack of access to services, limited education and exposure to violent crime and substance abuse.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our Social Workers are dedicated to assist the community to take care of themselves and their children. The ultimate goal is to help these families to function independently. We provide counseling, referrals, parental guidance and undertake awareness campaigns. We are also involved in preventative services, foster care services and children's court proceedings. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our social auxiliary workers assist community member's with applications for IDs and grants at Home Affairs and SASSA.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lethabong is a relatively new rural community in Donkerhoek. What this community lacks in infrastructure like water & electricity, they make up in heart and a desire to improve their circumstances.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have established an Early Learning Centre in Lethabong that caters for 110 children. We have also started women's empowerment groups as well as projects for the youth that focus on holistic development. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">An example of one of these projects is the Turbo Tigers Kickboxing Leadership Academy. In partnership with Fighting Fit Gym, we provide 12 children with the opportunity to train and take part in a formal disciplined sport. We also work in close partnership with the children's parents, teachers and community leaders to ensure they are equipped with life skills. Our social auxiliary workers monitor their academic progress to ensure they are focused and motivated to achieve. </span></div>

So much equipment from the Protective Workshop to store and move around from place to place, so we can clean, decorate and assemble 300 tables for this years stall holders. A kitchen to prepare so we can provide you all with what we think is fab fresh food and drink. Last minute panics as we discover the table plan is upside down or we don't have enough signs to guide you in from Graham Road. Will we get all our hand made crafts finished in time for our own stall?<br />
<br />
This is our 13th Market so I'm sure we're getting something right. <br />
<br />
Well there's only one way to find out and that's to come and visit us. Click <a href="http://www.kwo.org.za/index.php/nickel-market" target="_blank">here</a> for more details.<br />
