In late April staff of KCC started the sewing project. They learn different techniques of sewing which they will teach to kids in a second phase of the project to empower girls and boys of KCC.Three times a week five staff members are being instructed by Mama Rose, a lady skilled very well in sewing and other creative textile techniques. They already presented their first results after one week of training. Staff are enjoying the course a lot and are eager to get better and better every day.

Late in March boys and girls from KCC met with other adolescents of Soshanguve to talk about drug abuse, prevention, and health in a two day workshop. Moreover, they were invited to a soccer tournament.Hoildays at KCC are not only about relaxing and playing games but also about learning something important for life. Adolescent boys and girls participated in a two day workshop organized by SLDAC. SLDAC is short for Soshanguve Local Drug Action Committee. In the workshop they learned about different types of substance abuse, causes for substance abuse and methods of prevention.

For the third consecutive year KCC had been hosting the beauty pageant. It was topped of with the award giving ceremony for kids and staff who had achieved great things at KCC the previous year. The beauty pageant is one of the big events taking place at KCC anually. So, the three weeks of school holidays had been dominated by children and youth practicing for the day of beauty.
