In co-operation with the local Langa Action Community Aids Project LACAP SOS is providing family support for HIV/Aids affected families.
As an example of what the SOS family support program can acheive we shall take a look at the work over 5 month period between December 2007 to April 2008, as described by Dawie Marais, the Village Director. We can see how our children have grown and developed. Dawie explains:
In co-operation with the Langa Action Community Aids Project (LACAP), SOS Children is helping the families of 222 children stay together.
The Village celebrated Woman's Day by celebrating SOS Mothers and women in the community for their love and care, sometimes under very difficult circumstances, in their communities. The SOS Children's Village Cape Town held a very successful event on Saturday, 29 March. We were privileged to have Dr. Basil Leonard as the keynote speaker. The SOS Children's Villages South Africa was represented by Lawrence Saville, Chairperson SOS Board of Governors, and Eugene Absolom, National Director SOS Children's Village South Africa.
The new Child and Youth Development Coordinator, Vernon Endley, started working with children and families on 1 April. The youth girls were preparing for the two new intakes into the Girls Youth House since the beginning of January. The Boys Youth House will receive a new intake from Family House 13 at the end of the June school holidays. Both the Boys Youth House and Girls Youth House will then be filled to capacity.
