Students Volunteer at Impact Direct

Caroline Ngwenya, Linnet Chihaka, Nyasha Ziyezwa, Lynn Kanengoni (grade 10) and Mary Ngwenya (grade 11) are students from Cape Town High school.

The above Students offer to do community service as a Life Orientations project. The aim of their project is to do research and work in an environment to offer a service to the community to disadvantage people. Impact Direct Ministries has the privilege out of many Organizations that the students are volunteering there time to.

One of the projects that the Impact Centre focus on is Senior Wellness and that was the main reason that attracted the students to do community service.

When asking feedback the girls replied "Our first impression that we felt love, among the volunteers that work at the Impact Centre"

Senior Citizens playing Wii

Impact Direct Ministries is very devoted to the seniors of the community and have committed themselves to a group of 20 -30 seniors of the community.

Every Monday these seniors come to the Impact Centre where they are taught various life skills, arts and crafts and exercise . Today the ladies did a talk with them about healthy lifestyles and nutritional diets. After the talk it was the guys slot to do exercises with the Seniors But this was not going to be any exercises.We set up the Wii console in the main hall of the Impact Centre.Today they were going to get a full body workout as the pictures will explain.They were naturally exited and there was a great buss in the Centre.We let them play bit of everything ie. bowling tennis etc.

There are lots more of technology that we are wanting to introduce the seniors too eg how to operate their cellphones (properly).These are exiting times and we cant wait to make our Seniors techno savvy .Stay tuned for a bog post on how our seniors use their cellphones to make a change in their communities.
