Breath Water Sound Workshop at Juno Aurora Haven

A beautiful Breath Water Sound (BWS) Workshop was recently held at Juno Aurora Haven in Kelvin, Sandton, facilitated by Sumendrie and Shivani, VTP Graduates.

It was an amazing experience with these beautiful children, each carrying big hopes and dreams for their future. Over the many days of the workshop, it was heartwarming to witness their attention, engagement, and enthusiasm throughout the program.

To make the experience even more special, hygiene packs were distributed to the children old enough to participate in the workshop. Packs with crayons, colouring books, and other goodies were also prepared for the younger children so they could feel included too.

On the final day, the children enjoyed a mild vegetable biryani before receiving certificates to celebrate the successful completion of the program.

One of the greatest gifts has been reading the children’s experiences and reflections after the workshop. With follow-up sessions planned, there is great confidence that the positive impact of the program will continue to stay with them.

On the 20th December, The Nelson Mandela Community Youth Centre (NMCYC) was lit up by the presence of 350 children who were treated to a day of fun, laughter, gifts, a hearty meal, music and dance.

This was a collaboration between The International Association for Human Values (IAHV), the Revolution Motorcycle Club and The Nelson Mandela Community Youth Centre who made it possible to have Children from various parts of Durban and different organisations brought to the centre to celebrate the end of 2025.

The children were treated to a snack on arrival, a live band, a clown that got their tummy aching with laughter, quizzes with prizes, stationery, a sumptuous lunch, ice cream and each child left with a goodie bag.

A representative from iCare said:

“We had a good time.
