On Monday Lindelwa had a meeting with the area manager from Social Development in Ngqeleni. She said social development from Bisho said she must identify OVCs from Ward 25, the poorest of the poor, so that they can be registered and asked who could do that. Lindelwa suggested Mngcibe hbc. She got the NPO forms for Mngcibe to fill out and will work with Mngcibe to do their constitution and business plan. Then Mngcibe can apply w/ the government to register as an NPO.
Social Development said Philisa must submit from Oct 2009 to Aug 2010 their attendance register, ids and contract letters. They must be submitted to Bisho Social Development.
Mdumbi is busy re-submitting their NPO form, business plan and constitution as Social Development in Pretoria lost the first one. Anna is helping Mdumbi to fax those over.
Siyakhula is no longer cooking for the OVCs, the reason being there is no water in the river they can use for cooking. They still get food from Social Development for the soup kitchen. So they are getting a quotation to put roofs over their water tanks for next year.
All 3 HBC groups are busy running awareness campaigns on domestic violence to women as it is women's month.
