Another great article, this one discussing the toilet queue protest held last year in March.
The SJC will be holding one this year at the end of April, right before I end my time here. The planning for it is beginning to begin and I find myself looking forward to the display. Hoping for triple the amount of people this year.
Feeling thankful for the opportunity to work with such an incredible grassroots organization. Honestly don't think I could have found a better community organization focused placement here - this is the bare-boned, roots of the grass!
The next few months will be full of networking meetings with other community based organizations and NGOs in and around Khayelitsha. Community outreach will be done, passing out of fact sheets, recruitment of protest participants. And I even get to be involved with the strategic planning of the organization which feels super cool and educational.
Excited - work.
