Looking at the websiteA long overdue job was to go through the website and update where necessary – this has now been done. The exercise was a salutary reminder that websites get out of date if you don't keep on top of them. A new pageOne of our reflections on our trip to South Africa was that we are a small, young charity still finding the best way to work. In terms of cost-effectiveness, paying a stipend for a keen young trainee who is trained through on-the-job work experience is a winner.
Our experience with African Musical Instruments was a good one, and we would like to do more of this kind of sponsorship that enables good quality training and real job prospects. The system isn't set in stone, and we would welcome enquiries or suggestions from anyone who would be interested in partnering with us. The next project doesn't have to look like the last project, but it should reflect our learning as to what works best. Do get in touch if you are a business or run a business in southern Africa and would be interested in partnering with us.
