While kids are enjoying their time being back at the centre for a new school year, staff had the opportunity to be part of a first aid training by the Department of Social Development.
After school holidays KCC opened again for a new school year on January 12. Old children and youth were back again and new kids could register for the centre. Some things had improved, the new wall is almost done and staff and children enjoyed painting the wall. Other staff were taking part at the first of three workshops on first aid that is organized by the Department of Social Development. The other two workshops will take place in February.
At the centre there were still some signs of construction visible - and some children did not hesitate long but build their own small jungle gym out of the poles that the workers had left. Kgomotso, programme manager of KCC, said: "First I wanted to stop them because they might get hurt. But then I thought those kids have brains to help themselves." So, while they are still dreaming about having a real jungle gym they make the best of what they have.
