Today we find ourselves in Richards Bay, and are every day making contacts with a variety of folks for a variety of reasons. One of our reasons is to attempt to find persons who might be willing to sit on a board to form a nonprofit organization to enable our team leaders to help acquire resources to continue the program on an on going basis.
We also have been helping to teach the classes with our brothers and teammates. The students have been very receptive and enthusiastic about participating in the various activities that the sessions include.
Today both Glynn and myself (Mark), were interviewed by a local television station, 1KZN and were not only asked about the HIV program, but also how it relates to women and their daughters, since this is women's month in South Africa. This TV station has coverage all over the country. It is our hope that this may be a springboard to not only spread our message, but also to give our mission greater exposure, thus giving us greater acceptance nationwide and even make greater inroads to other African countries.
We were also able to have a session of training in one of the local community colleges in a town called Eskeweni. That school,s name is Umfolozi College, although they call it FEM.
Our days are full, and some of our efforts seem very successful, and some not so much, but only what God considers successful really matters anyway.
Keep checking the blog, there will be more to come. Mark
