Seven Passes Initiative AGM on 28 July

GEORGE NEWS - Seven Passes Initiative is holding its annual general meeting on Thursday 28 July at 19:00 in the Touwsranten community hall.

An overview will be given of what has been achieved in the past year.

According to the director, Wilmi Dippenaar, their work is making a measurable difference in the lives of people who seek help from the organisation.

"For example, more than 80% of the children in the community of Touwsranten attend after-school care daily at Seven Passes Initiative. Numerous children with learning difficulties learn to read and write."

Twenty young people who progressed through the Seven Passes programmes have attended tertiary education.

Two of them have returned to Touwsranten from university with degrees. One is a teacher at the local school and chair of the board of Seven Passes, and the other works for the organisation as a human resource officer and parenting facilitator.
