In Bloemfontain we visited the APD Kopano protective workshop. With many company contracts, the people with disabilities got involved in different jobs and received a salary as a result.
Mid-week, we assisted in a Job Training Workshop with people with disabilities. We facilitated group discussions regarding interview skills and preparation.
We enjoyed a evening out to dinner with employees of NCPPDSA and met two German students, also in South Africa for an internship.
Toward the end of the week, we met with Mr. Zingitwa at the Department of the Premier in the Free State Province. As the Assistant Manager in the Office on the Status of Disabled Persons, he provided insight into his employment history and the issues of local people with disabilities.
Great pictures! Thanks always for the updates!
