As part of our program, we visited the Gogo's (Grannies) and mothers at the Cotlands Community Centre in Soweto. This was our second visit to the Community Centre, but the first time we spent time with the women and children.
There were many volunteers that helped with the various tasks with Paris and Paula helping to pack the food parcels that are given to the women once a week. Despina and Angela tried their hands at knitting aiming to impress their mothers back home...
Apart from knitting, these talented women were making beaded badges, pyjamas for children and adults and place mats with various designs.
All these women had facinating stories to tell and an amazing ability to pick up new skills and share their knowledge with the other women and volunteers.
