A critical part of each project design in the Western Cape Schools' Project is to involve as many community members as possible and appoint a project leader to drive the project.  In a welcome development the Staffing Direct Training Academy, a SETA-accredited and AAA-rated training organisation based in Cape Town, offered to provide a complimentary two-day project management training course for all 53 appointed project managers in this Western Cape Schools Project.

On Saturday 5th June a Wellness Day - incorporating soccer matches, dance performances by all age groups from toddlers through to young adults, poetry readings and a HIV Counselling and Testing (HCT) campaign - was held at the Wesbank Sports Ground. It was enthusiastically attended by approximately 3,000 children and 2,500 adults, including the Mayor and the ward councillor.
