*NOTICE*

This coming Saturday (5 April 2008) marks the celebration of a project which started in June 2007, when two Bush Radio facilitators attended training at Public Achievement in Northern Ireland, covering the topic “Youth Away from Violence” and The Civic Youth Work Models for Project Development. To celebrate the successful implementation of these projects, a procession is organised through Gugulethu (one of the areas where the project was implemented), in order to celebrate the achievements of these individual projects and to raise awareness around violence and youth at risk. Bush Radio is inviting everybody to join and to hear from the youth how this project has helped them cope with violence in their societies. For more information contact Brenda Leonard 083 586 6962 or Nashira De Jongh 083 277 6455 or on their work number at 021 448 5450.
