How many times have you been exposed to reports of criminality, vandalism, hooliganism, drug abuse and mindless violence, and ended up just shaking your head and blaming \u2018them\u2019 for doing nothing about it?<\/p>\n
Well \u201chello!\u201d \u2013 guess what \u2013\u2018them\u2019 is you. Look in that bathroom mirror of yours and you will see the only person capable of building a caring, dare we say \u201cloving\u201d community \u2013 a person you can be proud of.<\/p>\n
\u201ctheprojects\u201d aims to make it easier for active caring citizens to share their skills and experiences with the less skilled and the less fortunate, and by doing so build stronger more productive communities.<\/p>\n
\u201ctheprojects\u201d is a growing family of concerned residents and householders who, together with their own families and friends, join together to volunteer their time, their resources and skills sets to train and develop young people, either face to face on a personal level, or through our upcoming online cyber advice office.<\/p>\n
@ \u201ctheprojects\u201d we will Chat but our ultimate aim is to Act.
\n\u201ctheprojects\u201d is not a huge building or a famous international organization. It is a collective of like-minded locals who have come together to pool their knowledge and skills to help solve the problems we confront day after day on our own doorsteps \u2013 problems that are impacting our own lives, and affecting our shared futures.<\/p>\n
We recognize that government has many priorities and that our predicament is probably not one of them. @theprojects we believe that we should lead by example in sharing and partnering with government to do better. And where better to start than right here in the south?
