Our Programs and Events
Introduction
Mayine e Afrika Foundation offers a range of programs and events namely tEEN sOUL sESsions, Teen one on ones, OUtdoor adventures and OUtdoor education. All our programs are designed to nurture self-awareness, resilience, and growth. From workshops to outdoor adventures, our initiatives help children unlock their full potential while building stronger communities.
Teen Soul Sessions
Every second Saturday, we gather at my home for Teen Soul Sessions, offering teens a safe and supportive space to express their feelings freely and confidently. These sessions nurture emotional intelligence and self-assurance, empowering teens to communicate openly and assertively.
We encourage self-reflection by exploring essential questions like “Who are you?” and “What do you want?” These thought-provoking discussions spark self-discovery and build confidence, helping teens better understand themselves and their goals.
We also tackle pressing social issues, covering topics often overlooked in school, such as social media strategies, the principles of reaping and sowing and more. Our aim is to provide teens with practical life skills that complement their formal education, equipping them for a balanced, successful future.
Outdoor Adventures
We take children to nature parks for outdoor education, providing them with opportunities to learn about the environment and connect deeply with nature. These experiences go beyond classroom learning, offering practical knowledge and fostering curiosity about the natural world.
Being in nature has proven mental health benefits, including reducing stress, enhancing focus, and promoting emotional well-being. These outings not only enrich their understanding of the environment but also contribute to personal growth and resilience.
Our goal is to help children become familiar with these spaces, appreciate the importance of nature, and learn how to care for it. By understanding and protecting nature, they will experience how nature, in turn, takes care of them, creating a harmonious relationship that benefits both their lives and the planet
Outdoor Education
We take our children to carefully selected events that offer exciting opportunities for learning and growth. These outings are designed to be both educational and enjoyable, providing a refreshing break from the traditional classroom environment. By combining these enriching experiences with outdoor education, we ignite curiosity, nurture a passion for discovery, and motivate kids to explore new ideas and interests.
In addition, we take children to iconic places around Cape Town, allowing them to learn about and explore the rich history, culture, and opportunities their city offers. These experiences not only broaden their horizons but also help them appreciate the world around them, preparing them to grow into confident, well-rounded individuals. Each outing becomes a learning adventure, sparking enthusiasm for knowledge, exploration, and personal growth.
Teen One-on-Ones
Teen one-on-ones are personal sessions where we engage with each child individually. These conversations allow us to understand how they’re doing and address any challenges they may be facing, whether related to school, home, or personal struggles. We encourage open and honest dialogue, giving them a safe space to share their experiences and feelings.
During these sessions, we also check in on how they feel about our programs, ensuring we’re making a meaningful and positive impact on their lives. These one-on-one interactions help build trust, providing the personalized support each child needs to thrive.
