Capacity building in Phokeng

Rustenburg / Phokeng : Host city for Soccer World CupFootball frenzy…or should I say “Soccer World Cup” frenzy has taken hold of Rustenburg and Phokeng. Flags are up all over the place, the malls,side streets,cars, taxi ranks and even the local workforce got into the spirit!

However the real reason for being in Phokeng, was not to partake in the “soccer frivolities” but to partner with the South African Institute of Traumatic Stress to provide training to victim empowerment facilitators in the Phokeng region. Such capacity development and training in areas such as these are vital not only for the recipient organization, but also for the facilitators who leave refreshed and encouraged by the passion and commitment of people within their communities to make a difference, or as we @ iThemba like to put it…to “Change a Life”

 

In the next few blogs I will be sharing some of those lessons I learnt with my readers….regards, Phil.
