RYLA & AIC Learners Share Transformative Experiences with Rotary Waterfront

Rotary Waterfront celebrates youth development achievements

On Friday we hosted and welcomed 14 learners and teachers to our meeting to showcase RCW’s investment in our Youth which is a primary focus this RY. 10 learners shared their stories. Four teachers joined us (Mr Masimila – Trafalgar), Carla Cabrita and Neil Oortman – Learn to Live and Alica Rhoda, Cape Town Multi Service Centre). We also welcomed our Assistant Governor Chris Beech to the meeting.
