Fri 19 March 2010

What a great day! Firstly, let me say thanks to our saviours, Redbull and good coffee!

We started out early this morning, arriving in Sharpeville just after six. Three people didn’t turn up for registration, at this point it’s really a matter of ‘your loss, not ours’ what else can we do?? Once we’d arrived at Maccauvlei and all our entrepreneurs had settled down, Hanolet gave the opening welcome speech, she was followed by a new Facilitator, Desia Block, who spoke about the importance of being dedicated and committed during this programme! Desia paved the way beautifully for Mondli, whose presentation and explanation of the contracts was received really well by the Sharpeville guys and girls, there was the inevitable stressed silence when he mentioned the liability section (if the intakes drop the course after signing they are liable for the money Maccauvlei has spent on them, roughly R16,000) but that was quickly explained and everyone could breathe again! Once again, guest speaker- Zodwa Maleka- blew the audience away with her stunning success story, exciting our learners and giving them a taste of things to come. Thank you to Maccauvlei, its facilitators and all the entities involved in helping this project take shape!

The day went along without a problem, the Sharpeville crowd seem a little more restless than the Ratanda intakes but just as eager! Only great things can come from this!

Thankfully this weekend is a long one, we are all feeling the need for a holiday by now, I’m sure! We’re at a farm for a few days, on the drive up we were caught in a hailstorm, awesome!

It’s like getting caught in a sudden, furious downpour of rain… gotta love it! I know I have been waiting for this weekend since Monday, enjoy it to the fullest and have a great one!
