As we discover Worcester society and infrastructure during our 3 year mission here, I will list those organizations we have connections with, or have heard about through friends, that are working for the social benefit of disadvantaged people, and/or spreading the Gospel.
These are just a subset of the many organizations working to help the poor and sick in this apparently prosperous town. If you would like to delve deeper into our life here, check out my South Africa daily journal.
Many links are to Facebook pages, unless they have web sites.

Khula Development Group
Khula Development Group was launched in 2003 and registered as a Non-Profit Organisation with the South-African Department of Social Development in 2004 as a community based organisation supporting out-of-school children in the Paarl East area. During 2007 management adjusted the mission of the organisation to the integration of children at risk of dropping out, back into the school system.

Legacy Relay
Legacy Relay links primary schools with helpers who are seniors in the community ready to share their skills and experience with young children.
This enables subjects that are no longer taught in school due to crowded curricula to remain in place at no cost to the school, and gives seniors the satisfaction of seeding into the community instead of the all-too-common impression that
no one is interested in their legacy of knowledge. Listen to Louis Le Grange on CWCP Radio Worcester Reports
