Following a group game using watercolour, the 14-18 year olds spent Monday afternoon exploring relationships and relational dynamics within their Monday group to finalise their group contract.

The 14-18 year old group kicked off Term 2 by making dolls. The dolls, created and named by the participants, then shared what they wanted in their group contract. All the dolls were made using recycled textiles that the participants selected themselves as each doll carries its own story and is shaped by memory and imagination.

Meet Lefika La Phodiso - Community Art Counselling & Training Institute (📍South Africa 🇿🇦)

Lefika La Phodiso, meaning “the rock of holding and healing,” supports children and young people through arts-based programs that nurture emotional wellbeing, resilience, and connection.

Through after-school programs and community art counseling, Lefika La Phodiso creates safe spaces where young people can express themselves, build confidence, and strengthen relationships. By training community-based counselors, the organization expands access to mental health support in under-resourced communities.

“At Lefika, I found a safe haven that helped me build confidence and discover my purpose. Today, I’m proud to give back to the same community that supported me.”

With support from the Kindness in Community Fund, Lefika is expanding its reach, empowering more young people with mental health resources, and strengthening the communities that support them.
