36 new Buddies...wow!!

In April this year we had to say good bye to 36 of our Buddies as they had reached the cut off age of 15 years. It was a bittersweet farewell as we had grown close to many of them over two and half years but we were also excited at how far they had come and excited of the prospect of the new Buddies we were going to meet.

So....with more than 50 percent of our Buddies being new to the programme we decided to have two full day workshops with the Buddies in the June/July holidays. We used the training manual that we developed for Unicef last year.

It was a great two days where LETCEE staff got to meet new children and the Buddies, from two different communities made a lot of new friends...

I am so excited to see the journey that these Buddies walk in over the next couple of years. What a privilege to be involved in the lives of these young men and women!!
