King IV Principles – how we implement it in Ezrah. At Ezrah, the aim of our board of directors is to govern Ezrah in line with best practice principles as we believe with Advocate Thuli Madonsela that we will not be able to lead others if we are not able to lead ourselves.
Care-Giver/Parenting Mentoring Workshop. Ezrah was excited to launch our first workshop in collaboration with Valcare as part of the Drakenstein Child Protection Programme, one of the many coordinated efforts fueled by Valcare.
Social Worker Survey results – Drakenstein Area. On Friday, the 9th of March we were able to provide feedback to social workers attending the Valcare Social Worker Support Breakfast on the results of the Social Worker Survey for the Drakenstein-area that was launched at the end of 2017 to capture the child protection challenges and needs which social workers face.
Training Social Workers in Ethical Leadership. On 7 November 2017, Ezrah had the privilege of training about 20 social workers from a social work coalition in our ethical leadership model, LEAD. During this session, we explored the importance of implementing care for others, perseverance, having a solution-focused attitude and making value-based decisions as part of building ethical leadership in our country.
Ezrah Annual General Meeting 2017. On the 19th of October 2017, Ezrah had a wonderful, relaxed AGM with our valued partners, colleagues and friends. At this event, hosted at Peaches and Cream, the focus was on celebrating God’s faithfulness and thanking our directors, staff team and partners for contributing to our success in the last financial year.
Child Protection For ECD Practitioners. With the celebration of child protection week from the 29th of May to the 5th of June 2017, we were deeply saddened with so many newspaper reports of young children being brutally raped and murdered within their very own communities and often within their very own homes, right here in the Western Cape.
