Soweto Connection meet with South African Soccer Team

On 7th September the South African soccer team (Bafana Bafana) took time out of their busy schedule to met Sean McGowan who will begin his solo row across the Atlantic in December, and Soweto Connection volunteers.

Sean and Soweto Connection hope to raise enough money to build a brand new nutrition centre in the township of Khayelitsha outside Cape Town. Soweto Connection’s partner in this project is a community based organisation with almost 30 years experience in the area.

The centre will include a HIV/Aids support group with daily nutrition support and advice, a weekly medical clinic and training in weaving and beadwork so as to generate income both for the centre and its clients. It will also include an Educare facility for the preschool children of the mothers who come for nutrition and HIV/Aids assistance.
