Kokosi Catholic Church uplifts community through Youth and Father's Day celebrations
According to active church member Anastasia Lefalatsa, young people from the church helped organise a heartwarming Father's Day surprise. Each father in the congregation received a special meal and a blue ribbon as a token of appreciation. 'We held this as a surprise to make the fathers feel that they are special and valued,' Lefalatsa said. It was the first time the church hosted such an event.
In addition to this, Father Don Jastin travelled to Wedela on Youth Day to host a workshop for young people from both Kokosi and Wedela. Critical issues such as unemployment, drug abuse, and gangsterism were discussed.
Looking ahead, the church plans to continue its community outreach with a special initiative for Mandela Day.

Students empower young minds on Youth Day
A group of IIE MSA students recently visited the Kgatlego Initiative to celebrate Youth Day with a socio-educational programme for primary school learners. The students, who are part of the IIE MSA Cares volunteer body, developed and delivered a programme to empower and educate the children. The initiative is a grassroots organisation that provides a safe space for young people. It offers after-school homework assistance, health awareness programmes, and extracurricular activities. The programme included a fun and interactive activity called the 'tree of success'. The children wrote down their dreams and aspirations on cards, which were then placed on the 'tree'. The dreams written on the cards ranged from becoming doctors and lawyers to police officers, all aimed at making a positive impact in their community. When they were done with educational activities, the IIE MSA Cares committee members prepared and provided lunch for the children. The kids then surprised the students with a special dance performance, showing their appreciation for the visit. 'My experience at the Kgatlego Initiative was eye-opening. We had the opportunity to see how passionate and excited the kids were to learn about our history. Their dreams inspired us to reflect on our own futures and the impact we want to make in society,' shared Thandiwe Ndlovu, a Bachelor of Social Science Honours student.
