Celebrate Arbor Week!

South Africa's Arbor Week 2011 comes to an end today - celebrate the day by planting a tree! We recently asked our learners in our horticulture training courses at both the Leeuwkop and Johannesburg Central Correctional Facilities about their favourite lesson so far and many responded that it was learning about trees, their names and their purpose.

The official trees for 2011 are the Jacket-plum (common) and Bride's Bushes and the Common Wild Elder (rare) - find these and other trees at two of Hlumelelisa's partners Food and Trees for Africa and the Tiqwa School nursery.

And Growing!

Hlumelelisa welcomes Mafika Vilakasi to our training team at Johannesburg Central Correctional Facility - Mafika will be working closely with training facilitator William Moropana as a trainer in training.

Our Team is Growing!

Happy Baloyi, one of Hlumelelisa's graduates from our Leeuwkop class of 2009, has just started at Leeuwkop as a training intern - a "train the trainer"participant. We're excited to have him on the team - he is pictured here with our training facilitator, Kagiso Monegi.
