Friendship brings results!

Our Friendship Clubs in South Africa are very active.  We, along with the other Soroptimist International Clubs in Southern England, have  cooperated with them for many years.  We have all gained a great deal from these links.

First we supported a house for AIDS orphans in Mamelodi, SA.  That project has now come to an end.

Now, Southern England Region Soroptimists are working with SI Pretoria-Tshwane on the Volunteer Intern Project (VIP).    Under the VIP, two young women volunteers from the local area are being funded to work in an educational environment in Atteridgeville.  The young women are getting  valuable experience and the school benefits too.

SI Durban, our other Friendship Link in South Africa,  won the National Federation’s ‘Photo of the Month’ competition in April with the wonderful image –  the feature photo of this post and reproduced below. We agree with the sentiment!
