This morning we visited the MKI Centre in Khayelitsha were a workshop on child development was being thought by May one of our trainers. The camera crew and the guests had a field day. May was in his element as always.
While the workshop went on the YOELL ladies came to work.
Their participation in the making of the documentary was very natural; they had the most wonderful thing to say. One of them in particular made it clear on camera that MKI had made a difference in her life after the dead of her boyfriend who died of AIDS, while pregnant with his third child.
I cannot explain how happy I am from these kinds of statements. This really shows that we are making a difference in the lives of so many.
Today was also an historical day for MKI. At 5:30 in the late afternoon we gathered together for the first official meeting of the Medical Knowledge Institute South Africa Trust.
After many months of preparation we set around a table chaired by Hannie Nutbey, a South African married to a Dutch Gentlemen. Hannie has been very instrumental in the creation of the MKI Trust in South Africa.
Other Trustees include, Reverend Desmond Lamberts, Prof. John van Zyl, Dr. Jelle Braaksma and me. Kirsty Hunt, the Executive Director of MKI South Africa was appointed ex official member and in charge of the day to day operations.
Because of the excitement I had a very hard time falling asleep last.
