over the last two years we have been developing the relationship that we have with the young volunteers who come and work with us in the community as we share our life skills sports outreach with the children aged 9 - 15 in 7 different areas of grabouw and the elgin valley. we are now working with 6 guys aged 16 - 20 who not only meet with us each week to prepare the next sessions but give freely of their time leading the groups each afternoon.
many of our sports mentors are just coming to the end of their schooling and it's important for us to offer support to them in whatever way we can, today we are able to share the news that we have been able enrol one of our longer term mentors into a college in somerset west where we will support him in the college fees, holding him to account for the IT course that he is undertaking and hopefully making a real difference to not only his future but the future of his family.
if you would like to find out more about how you can help us to help those who have made a real commitment to our sports outreach programme then please get in touch with us via this blog.
we would also love to employ a full time sports outreach co-ordinator, to work with these guys, the HAN students and other volunteers who come and partner with us and we are currently looking for an international intern who might be able to come over for a whole year to take on this vital role.
