Unveiling Hidden Talents

Posted on 24 October 202324 October 2023 by Admin

No-Stone Sewing Classes Make a Stitched Impact

Greetings, No-Stone community. This week, we’re shining a spotlight on our recently launched Sewing Classes—a venture that’s unraveling hidden talents and stitching a new narrative for the incredible ladies in our community.

In a village entrenched in the harsh grasp of poverty, the debut of our Sewing Classes was met with a quiet but powerful response. Unlike the expected flood of eager learners, a group of mature ladies stepped forward—women who, despite their years, had never had the chance to explore the art of sewing.

This week’s sewing triumphs tell a tale of untapped potential. Picture this: a lady proudly walking home in her own handcrafted shorts, another showcasing a self-made handbag. These are not just stitched garments; they’re symbols of empowerment and newfound skills in a community where opportunities are scarce.

What’s remarkable about this group is their maturity and the fact that they are navigating the world of sewing for the first time. Despite lacking prior experience, their uncanny skill at the craft is undeniable. It’s a testament to the latent talents waiting to be discovered when given the chance.

These aren’t just sewing classes; they’re a lifeline to skills that can open doors to economic independence. The ladies, though older, are proving that it’s never too late to learn and embrace something new. The joy emanating from the sewing room is infectious—they’re not just acquiring a skill; they’re savoring the experience of discovering their own capabilities.

This isn’t a fairy tale makeover, but a real-life transformation. The sewing needles and threads are weaving a story of resilience, determination, and the uncharted potential that lies within our community. We’re not just teaching sewing; we’re fostering a sense of accomplishment and self-reliance.

Stay tuned as we continue this journey, exploring the threads that bind us together and the untold stories of strength and skill emerging from the heart of Kalbaskraal. It’s not just a sewing class; it’s a stitch in time, crafting a future of empowerment and possibilities.

Has moved to Skool Street. Come and see Saskia's Place, the library or come and watch the reading programmes take place. OR if you would like to sit in at Jo's Cafe' a place of safety where young people can just come and be. We will start soon with out Saturday morning programmes.

Our Team

The team has a mix of youth and experience, energy and wisdom. The bulk of the team live in Kalbaskraal. Again, this is headed up by Heike (with 24 yrs of outreach ministry experience) and Mark (40 yrs of coaching at various levels and sports). We can then add Jo-Anne with her 30 years of ministry and outreach.

Our Relationships

We have strong relationships with many ministries and companies. Each supporting us in various ways and in Kalbaskraal and out. Our prime focus is to be a complete service provider for the local primary school OJ Erasmus, and sourcing any resources that they require. Keep in mind that this is a model we are building to move onto other rural schools in the Swartland.
