Duration: 2.5 hours (Two sessions of 45 minutes with 20-minute interval which gives time for opening and closing and a short intro session from Focus with video.)
Event Description: A child’s identity—the way she sees herself and her place in the world—is a fragile thing. It should be handled with care. The good news is that a parent can help shape that identity into something powerful, something from which she can draw strength for the rest of her life.
Good character makes itself known through Positive Values—the priorities that push us to do the right things, even when it doesn’t seem to benefit us. Positive Values make us look past ourselves, to the people and world around us, to see how we can make things better.
Based on the greatly successful programme: Raising Highly Capable Kids and the 40 developmental assets that children need to develop to be healthy, happy, and thriving individuals.

As a single mother to seven-year-old Asemahle she understands the importance of good parenting. Thandeka is enthusiastic about serving the community and seeing parents develop a healthier relationship with their kids. Thandeka’s life has been a testimony of God’s grace and goodness.
