Borehole Construction at Ark Campsite
 The office was grossly involved in getting the borehole drilled and equipped. The help of Mr Darren Dane is greatly appreciated as he volunteers to manage the projects at the Ark and Mark campsite.
We are excited to share that plenty of water was found in the campsite. Jayen Drilling Company recorded a supply of ....litres of water a day with the drilled depth of 100m.
Our committed volunteers, Darren Dane, Joanne Gowing and Jade Moran accompanied and worked day and night with the specialist Mr Basotho at the campsite to equip the borehole and make it ready for use by a team of 36 social workers participating in the ropes course training. Well done team!! We got the water just on time.In preparation for the same training, Jade lead in creating directional sign posts for the campsite. No one got lost!

 Ark and Mark trained all the 20 Community Activists involved in the Lentswae la Tlholego Project on drama based presentations to school kids.
There was so much excitement as school kids participated in the active drama based presentations. So much knowledge gained
