Visitors to the Sensory-Space will have noticed a bit of colour on the walls over the last couple of weeks on the third floor of the Children's Memorial Institute. Volunteer Now offered to repair the paint around our windows and sent some volunteers to assist. You will notice we are using the same muted pastel colour palette and building pattern approach for our children’s comfort and enjoyment. Brandon Bitros will be at the windows on the 3rd floor tomorrow with paint and brushes if anyone would like to join him for Mandela Day and a bit of chilled painting. We have chosen a rainbow 🌈 to represent our new beginnings, with flowing water and a clear way forward for the CMI! Thank you to the teams from Johannesburg Parent & Child Counselling Centre - JPCCC (Liran who got the ball rolling), and Sharon Gordon for the wall fixing, paint and volunteers, and the ongoing creative collab between Lefika La Phodiso - Community Art Counselling & Training Institute and Sensory-Space 🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

🙏 A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for the Lefika volunteer training this past weekend! From students to community workers and professionals - your enthusiasm was inspiring.

This training is an important part of our work at Lefika, equipping our volunteers with the skills and knowledge needed to make a real difference in our after-school programmes. Seeing passionate people come together to support our young people reminds us why we do what we do.

If you missed this one but are interested in volunteering with us, keep an eye out for our next training session. We'd love to have you join the Lefika family!

Our next volunteer training is on Saturday 5 July from 9:00-13:30. The training is free and will give you an opportunity to support us in our afterschool programmes.
