In the summer I will be going out to South Africa with a group from school to help the Path out of Poverty charity. During my week with the charity I will be helping children who have been born into the South African poverty cycle. As a group we will play games, share stories and take the children on trips, for example to the sea which many of them have never seen before. The Path Out of Poverty (POP) Programme vision seeks to transform rural communities, by offering the most recent generation of children the opportunity to become healthy, self- confident, educated young people able to take up leadership roles in their own communities. They concentrate on healing the past, building self-esteem, self-confidence, capacity and skills of young people, supporting them in breaking out of the damaging cycle of generational poverty.
