MKI, the Sandton Hotels and the making of a documentary, DAY 2






The second day of filming started in our Health Information Centre in Khayelitsha. Our three top staff members, Xolani, the administrator, May, known as the top dog trainer, and Andile, a new trainer on his way to become the assistant trainer to May received the camera crew and my guest with open arms.
Later they told me that they felt so welcome it was like meeting friends they had known for a very long time.

So we used the day to visit some of our students who have become facilitators in the township. They had been waiting for us and were eager to tell their stories, predominately success stories. Success stories of how they are using the knowledge received by MKI to empower their community members and especially the youth.

It was easy sailing for the camera crew because as I mentioned before they told their story with so much passion and conviction.

The statements of these wonderful people confirmed again what a difference MKI is really making in the lives of so many people.
Defiantly something to be proud of
Again good wishes from South Africa.
