Parents Centre

Today we spoke to Jane Waatington from Parents Centre and we’ve heard that their organisation provides education and training workshops, home visiting programs, community talks, support groups as well as parental counselling. While their Centre is based in the Western Cape, they are very keen to respond to requests for training from other areas.

We then spoke to Frank Maposa from Wola Nani. We spoke about problems facing HIV positive women and children. Focusing on the needs of HIV+ women and their children, Wola Nani’s services aims to ease the burden of HIV by enabling people living with the virus to respond positively and attain the skills to develop their own coping strategies.

We then rounded up our show with Emelia Ciccone from LongStreetEyes Project.
Their project is about giving children who live on the street an opportunity to explore their artistic yearnings and to let them interact with their surroundings in a way that provide them with means of escaping the daily grind of surviving the streets.
