EWB
Connections
A group of Cape Town business
and professional people, in concert with members from Fezeka, have
been undertaking a series of concrete initiatives to directly assist
Fezeka and its students.
Mentoring and Training
Program
Volunteers have enthusiastically
embraced the Fezeka project and are constantly finding new and innovative
ways to help. One example is the mentoring and apprenticeship opportunities
they are creating for students in the community. These include:
- Garment Industry traineeship
- Law firm job shadowing
- Shadowing the curator of the South
African Museum in Cape Town
- Drama workshop for students and
teachers at Fezeka by an actress and drama teacher
- Shadowing film-makers
- Three graduates accepted into
the Tsiba program, a 4-year B.Comm. program where all tuition
costs are covered!
Mentoring Program
with Virtus Clinical Development
Students Makhosi and Minnie, in their final year at Fezeka, are assisting Anlie Malherbe of Virtus Clinical Development (Pty) Ltd to monitor a study to investigate the effectiveness and safety of a drug for HIV-AIDS. Their task is to separate the data forms and to prepare the forms for dispatch to the data management centers.
