South Africa Christmas events

One of the goals for South African volunteers was to challenge and assist those that they have been teaching and working with over the past years to do something for others in their communities. To inspire and motivate friends and members, at the beginning of 2011, they held 3 one-day seminars on organizing and running volunteer projects. The events during Christmas 2011 were largely organized by new volunteers in response to this input and training.

To inspire and motivate our friends and members, at the beginning of the year, we held 3 one-day seminars on organizing and running volunteer projects. It was encouraging to see everyone’s enthusiasm. The events this Christmas were largely organized by our volunteers in response to this input and training.
