ACTIVITIES

Since March 2011 each of the Phedišang centres is running independently, assisted by Phedišang central. Most of the centres are receiving Governemnet funding to do this. With extra funding, Phedišang has launched an Internship program, aimed at children who have graduated from the Leadership Program. It offers more focused "on the job training" and will allow for a 2nd phase development opportunity. The interns will also be taken to on a few "on the job training" trips to various local businesses for different career opportunities.

Leadership Program

This will be the third year that the Leadership Program is being offered at the Phedišang centers. To be more cost effective, leaders will be trained at their own respective centers.
