Welcome to Senethemba!

An outreach centre working with 'at risk' youth (street kids) with the goal of re-integrating them back into their families and school, encouraging them to become productive members of society.

16 children at risk (street kids) who have been re-integrated back into their families and school are involved in the 'after care' program.  Picked up from school each day, they are brought to the centre for help with homework and some nourishing food to nurture the relationship already built with volunteers and counselors.  The goal is to keep them from falling back to their delinquent ways and the street.  Together we (Nathan & I) are bringing a message of hope and encouragement through multimedia and God's Word once a week.  Using only our small computer speakers, our ears were strained to hear the movie as the rain began to pound on the roof.  We encouraged the students to pray with us for the provision of a new portable sound system that will cater to such ministry occasions (please join us in prayer for this!).  It will be fun to show them how God answers practical needs.

We will continue to report on other activities as we partner with the staff at Senethemba to reach out to the youth of the informal settlements around Knysna.
