Cape to Cairo

Hello Friends!

This morning I had the privilege of meeting with two leaders of South Africa. They have a passion for training the youth here in Cape Town. Their vision is to “plant the seed” here in Cape Town, and duplicate the training model to all of Africa.

The dream is to start a training center in all of the surrounding communities, raising up African leaders, who then would go out the communities to train those in the townships. Also, part of the dream is to start a sports academy to reach out to the younger generation to model, coach, and mentor the youth, (similar to the States Boys and Girls Clubs). The third dream is to start an orphanage for those youth who have lost their parents or have been abandoned by them, so there would be a clean, dry place to live where they could receive the necessities of living as well as education.

This model is what they would like to duplicate here in all of South Africa, with anticipation to reach all of Africa. The paperwork to set up a NGO is in place and will be completed shortly. Our African brothers and sisters only need our help to train them in ways that they can teach training to their communities.

Food for Thought,
Jerry
