The wonderful Elizabeth Nadlir Nir took us through our next phase of training, and we had around 150 volunteers over the space of two days. We learnt about the importance of fair but firm discipline,and a refresher on all the aspects of the programme, particularly the word play areas, or games playing. As ever, we had the help of our wonderful team, so thank you Carrie and Kerry and all the overseas volunteers who gave their time to help make the two days run smoothly. Maurita talked to us about our new initiative, the SPONSOR A CHILD programme. We are encouraging supporters to pledge R85 a month for a two year period. This is just one of the very inventive ways that we can start to become self sustainable: funding is a constant headache for us: by having a sponsorship programme, we are hoping to generate money ona regular monthly basis, leaving us a little more time to focus on the real job in and: the children and volunteers.
