Message from Heather Lund:
Yesterday
Jeremy Mansfield pleaded to the public to make toys for the
elephants to play with to hopefully get their spirits back and
up. I represent Succinct (Pty) Ltd who run a project called
‘Each One Teach One’ where we have set up a group of
sewing ladies at the Alexsan Kopano Community Centre in
Alexandra. We immediately responded to the plea and offered the
services of project ‘Each One Teach One’ but pleaded
for material to be donated. Once the plea went out live on 94.7
we were inundated with calls. The response has been phenomenal
and we have already and are still receiving bags full of
material. Project ‘Each One Teach One’ wants to thank
the public for all their donations and if there is any more
material to donate, to please call me and we’ll arrange for
it to be collected.
About the Project
The sewing group was launched late last year at Alexsan Kopano Centre in Alexandra, under the banner of "Project Each One Teach One".
The project is the
brainchild of Gail Hering, a director of Succinct (Pty) Ltd. Gail
and Succinct are presently funding the project. The overall
objective of the "Each One Teach One"
projects is to
empower the
community with skills to make them self-sufficient and end the
cycle of poverty in this country.
This project aims at providing unemployed people from previously disadvantaged backgrounds with the necessary training to become trainers so that they in turn can pass on their skills to other members of the community.
As it is a fledging project we are still reliant on donations of resources and funding. Any offers of help are always appreciated.
We are constantly on the lookout for sewing projects and have already secured a number of income generating sewing assignments. We are happy to take on sewing opportunities and to accept specific orders.
Thank you for your support
