Village SuperSpar Initiative

Over the past 2 months we being working on the following projects

  1. Khoi San Talk with Clive : Our U/15 boys enjoyed a Khoi San discussion by Clive Barber in the village square presentation room. It was a interesting discussion where the boys learned how the Khoi San live a simple life and what we can take from the way they live.
  2. Gender Based Violence Program: In collaboration with Sakhe Health organisation in Humansdorp we introduced a 8 week program called “ Boys Championing Change “ which cover GBV topics. We are currently in week 5 of this program.

A special thanks to everyone involved, and to Spar for generously donating meals for the kids.

Onako Signam

One of our 16 year old boys from Sea Vista attended a trial in Gauteng where he was selected to come and join the Dreamers Football Academy. Are discussing with his parents and our management we made the discussion to send him over there where he will attend school and be accommodated by the academy. This is an opportunity for Onako to show case his skills and hopefully lay a path to professional football. We wish him all the best .

Sea Vista Sports Field Maintenance

We’ve been working diligently on improving the Sea Vista Sports Field. With the help of Rotary Club St Francis we will be levelling and fertilising the main field aswel as the training field in September. Our efforts will also include watering and cutting the field to make the field as level as possible, hopefully this will result in some better football for the local teams .
