2024 Looks to be a Record Year
On the 15th of January, we launched our first training for the year with 24 Students completing the Skills4Life course.
Subsequently we opened second training for the year on the 20th of May which ended on the 14th of June with 28 students graduating from the course! With the help of Nela Kahle Arts and Crafts we were also able to facilitate our first ever beadwork training.
Currently we have 5 students attending our
3-month Sewing Business Incubator course which is helping students who have learned to sew at Amakhono Okuphila become entrepreneurs through the teaching of business skills and helping further their sewing skills.
With the Oct-Nov training still on the way this looks to be a record year for Amakhono Okuphila as an organisation. We are hoping to train our most ever students in a year by training over 80 students in 2024.
Amakhono Okuphila would also like to mention our volunteer trainers without whom the courses would not be possible. Thank you to our trainers for the passion with which they pass on their knowledge to the next generation who may not have otherwise had a chance to learn these valuable skills. We look forward to our next training in Oct-Nov with the possible introduction of a basic English language course.
Are you free?
For some, it happens when they turn 30. For others, at 50. For still some others, it only happens in their twilight years. But most people eventually come to realize that a life of getting gets old and empty. A new desire rises - a desire for significance and impact.
If you have acquired practical skills that you want to impart into the next generation, Amakhono Okuphila would like to offer you an opportunity to change the future for many. If you would like to find out more about our volunteer trainer opportunities, please contact us and we'd be glad to speak through the possibilities with you.
