Where does one start telling the story of this amazing organisation when mere words do not convey the difference the people in this organisation make. Having dealt with the GCFW and their skills centre Sikelele, for just on over a year, on both a personal and corporate level, I have seen the growth, the joy and the triumphs of people determined to succeed. Sowing the seeds of enablement, uplifting downtrodden souls and generally showing love to many who have never had any faith placed in them previously, all, whilst teaching responsibility and ability to manage your own future. We have purchased all of our corporate gifting through the centre since December 08 and have always come away with the amazing feeling of a job well done. The Learners at the centre go beyond what is required of them and supporting them every step of the way is Management, Sue Du Toit (GCFW) and Debbie Kruger (Sikelele). It has been a most humbling experience and I look forward to witnessing their future success stories from really up close!!!
