Let's be thankful for sweet moments, blessings, and even sweeter peaches!
There was great excitement and quite a few sweet moments in October. From soccer final winners, to handyman tips, to athletes with long breaths at the Michell's Pass Marathon. The youth enjoyed themselves and were full of inspiration after their participation in the 9,10 and 11 Process.
Remember, our own in-house music concert is also around the corner! Come and learn more at our Picking Course.

9, 10 AND 11 PROCESS
9 Process
The learners started the morning with their subject selection tests, followed by RootSkills. The focus was on foundational values that promote personal growth and self-insight. 10 Process
The learners visited Brandvlei Prison and Refuge, where 15- and 16-year-old boys shared their life stories with them. At Toevlug there was even a nine-year-old boy who admitted that he was addicted to TIK. We ended the afternoon at Kleinplasie, where space was created for unloading and emotional support. 11 Process
We stayed the whole weekend in Boy Muller residence. On Friday, the learners took their vocational tests and attended a session on how to draw up a CV and prepare for a job interview.
On Saturday, several speakers presented sessions on life choices, leadership and personal growth.
Through honest conversations and testimonies, they developed a new appreciation for responsibility, discipline and second chances. The experience strengthened their confidence, empathy and teamwork and made them return with a renewed sense of hope and purpose.
