HRE course held at SeaVista St. Francis in March with participants from a soccer club.
Participants enjoyed the program though they were quite shy to share their experience.
Feedback from some of the participants:
“It took away all the stress I had before coming here and it also helped me to stay
calm.”
“After learning about sugar I have reduced my sugar to only 5 teaspoons in the past
days. The breathing, I have seen it helped me over the days.”

Our first Breath Water Sound follow up took place in Sasolburg with a group of 35 parolees and probationers.
They had completed the course in February 2019 with Prison Program teachers Chintz Bhana and Manoj Dayal.
With guidance and assistant from Ms. Melissa and Gavin Huber (Vaal) and Ms. Carla Van Staden from the Dept. Correctional Services they have embarked on a farming project.
They have selected their own team leaders and currently communicating with the Dept. Of Agriculture. The DOA has agreed to assist and guide them with farming skills, and provide them with seedlings to kick start the project.
The team said “Our aim is to move forward and to serve the less fortunate in our community. We want to leave and forget the past”.
