##United Sanctuary Against Abuse**
We kicked off todays show chatting to Leetan Donkerman from the United Sanctuary Against Abuse. He explains that the organisation was started by a group of factory workers at a time when domestic violence was considered a domestic issue which did not warrant police involvement.
Their members were encouraged to educate themselves around laws pertaining to Human Rights.

**EMASI CHILDREN'S PROJECT**
We were then joined by Mama Zelphina Maposela from the Emasithandane Children's Project. She explains that theEmasi Project is a home for orphaned and other vulnerable children in Nyanga, which is one of the poorer townships in Cape Town.
Mama Maposela aims to give those at her project a safe home.
Emasi has grown to more than 25 orphaned children and needs your help with donations.

**FRIENDS DAY CENTRE**
We were then joined in the latter half of the show by Lynette Jeftha from the Friends Day Centre.
She explains that the intellectually disabled learners need special care in order to develop to their maximum potential.
She highlights that having an intellectually disabled child in the home places a lot of strain on a family and therefore Friends Day Centre offer relief and support by ensuring that the affected child has a daily routine, out of the house, making matters easier for the family.
