3rd POP Centre in Riebeek West, South Africa

Because of your support we have raised enough money to build our third Path Out of Poverty (POP) youth centre.

Nikolas Kok, manager of POP3 is very busy planning the final touches of the opening of our 3rd POP Youth Centre in Riebeek West. The opening day on Youth Day in South Africa, 16 June, is going to be very much a youth run event – run by the youth for the youth.

The Valley choir is going to sing, the young people are going to do a special dance & created a poem to commemorate the opening.

The Hon. Gugile Nkwinti, Minister of Rural Development and Land Reforms is to to unveil the plaque on the wall, and all the people who designed, built and contributed will be there.
