IT was an exhausting yet phenomenal weekend when more than 100 people descended on Paarl, volunteering their time on a weekend to complete the finishing as well as the gardens of the new Enza Skills Centre for underprivileged women.
This event was organised by Enza in co-operation with New Kidz on the Block (a non-profit organisation which facilitates the renovation and maintenance of children’s homes and foster family accommodation with the help of corporate sponsors and volunteers).
In a few weeks the Enza Skills Centre will be up and running. The main emphasis will be on practical education, such as literacy training, computer skills, mathematical literacy, financial planning and budgeting as well as counselling and life skills training, cooking skills, needlework, beading work and artwork.
More information regarding the project can be obtained from www.enza.za.org. If anyone would like to assist Enza with a donation or monthly pledge or become involved in the project as a volunteer, contact Ruth Gylfadottir on info@enza.za.org or 072-775-8666. Donations to Enza are tax deductible.
