After a delay of more than 2 hours we finally left Schiphol airport in Amsterdam on Saturday November 22nd for Cape Town.
On this trip I am been accompanied by my honorary Chairman, Guup, Baron Kraijenhoff and his darling wife Yvonne, the Baroness.
I am so honored for these two very special people to join me to finally see the many things MKI is doing in South Africa. Guup also felt that after the many stories from others he finally wanted to see it for him self.
After a rest day on Sunday, we started the first workshop on Monday, November 24 in our Health Information Centre in Khayelitsha.
Under the dynamic leadership of MKI’s facilitator Naomi Holdt, a psychologist from the province of Kwa-Zulu Natal about 20 participants were empowered on the topic of sexual offenses, a timely and well received workshop of 2 days.
The first day of the workshop ended with the creation of the SOS Group (Sexual Offences Support Group) made up of some of the participants who will be looking for ways of expanding on the topic by promoting the issues discussed in the township of Khayelitsha.
Kirsty Stiff, MKI’s South African Directors offered the centre for meetings and other kind of activities of this newly formed group of powerful woman ready for making a difference. The first meeting of the group is planned for December 3rd
This coming Wednesday and Thursday the workshop will be repeated in the Stellenbosch for our trainers from four different townships, Kayamadi, Cloetersville, Idasvalley and Jamestown.
On Friday November 28, we have been invited to a church service conducted by Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu after which we will have a private meeting with him.
Baron and Baroness Kraijenhoff shown on the picture above during the first day of our workshop in Khayelitsha.
There is more to come, kind regards,
