Children are our future and we have a responsibility to equip them with the necessary tools to face the challenges that lies ahead.
We use a variety of activities to help identify the true leaders for next year.
The outcome of this interactive group dynamic activities can be far reaching, because we can empower the youth to effectively deal with challenges and obstacles in a very creative way.
Each student get a chance to express themselves creatively in a safe environment within the group – which boosts self-confidence and self-esteem, and thus the true leaders shine.
The activities are fun and done of such that individuals enjoy themselves so that no harm get spread.

Their creation becomes the secret weapon … where we use their drum as a metaphor that can help achieve the following:
– Drum sessions enhance communication between fellow participants. The importance of knowing when to listen and when to speak.
– It cultivates tolerance and promotes openness that creates mutual respect and a better understanding of each other.
– It emphasises interdependence and
co-operation.
– Group drumming demonstrates the synergy of how every individual plays an important role.
– It improves concentration.
– The interaction between hearing and doing, as well as hand/eye coordination are good exercise for the brain.
– Discipline. As a group they must maintain
Seeing teams thrive through our activities, as well as having fun while they do it, is what give us the passion to do what we do. The biggest reward is seeing smiley faces, and kids thrive, that’s when we know we’ve accomplished our goals.
