Mamelodi Extension 17

After 3 years of waiting it has finally happened!

Comrade Ida and Comrade Rubin from the street committees at Extension 17 have called me to a meeting and told us they are ready to start the community development of their area.

I asked Nobel Prize candidate, Veronica Khoza to help me and together we spent about 2 hours in conference with the various leaders of the community.

Priority is to establsih a feeding scheme for the plus minus 50 households in Extension 17 who are child-led homes.

Sunstyle has agreed to work-up a costings sheet, the street committee members will do some research into the actual numbers needing food on a daily basis.

Veronica was counselling that we set-up a co-operative at street level; the old street-co-operative something like I set-up for street children over 10 years ago!

We will then work up to establsihing a community Trust fund for the area.

this is really great news! At last this community is ready for action!
