Yomelelani Outreach

Additional activities are encouraged by Yomelelani to further the centre’s involvement in its local community.

Arts & Crafts and Sewing Lessons

An after-school class, staffed by volunteers, is offered from 3.00 to 5.00pm on one afternoon a week in the hall. Fifty children aged between nine and thirteen enjoy painting, drawing, traditional beadwork, and a range of crafts followed by sandwiches and a drink.

Yomelelani Outreach KarateKarate

Karate classes for the boys are run five evenings a week by a Xhosa speaking instructor. The results have been amazing with high grades being achieved by many of the boys.

The Swop Shop

The Swop Shop held every Wednesday afternoon is a continuing success with up to ninety children of all ages participating. Children are encouraged to collect re-cycled materials in the township and to bring them to the Swop Shop. They are weighed and points awarded which may then be exchanged in the shop for pencils, toiletries, or even food. Every child is also rewarded with a sandwich and drink. At the end of each session a Local Authority vehicle collects the results of this activity and a small contribution from the re-cycling centre helps to stock the shop.

However, this activity has diminished substantially following the destruction of part of the re-cycling plant in the riots of 2018.

The Good News Club

This club has use of the Hall on a Thursday afternoon. It is managed by Dinky de Toit, a member of the Hermanus United Church, on an interdenominational basis.  Some 50 to 60 children of Zwelihle visit each week, hear bible stories, sing to the guitar player’s music and consume the chocolates on offer.
