Kids in Dennilton, some of whom
are involved in the multi-center project.
This is the amazing Cynthia Nkosi

Kennedy.
Here's Jabu, Cynthia's husband,
and their baby girl.
NextAid consultant, Eco-Architect Joseph Kennedy.
Joe is leading an envisioning exercise with bricks
and weeds to determine design and layout of the
multi-purpose center.
Nextaid consultant Paul Cohen and Abel Nkosi
probably discussing "permaculture."
Abel participated in the workshop and is one of
the driving forces behind the project. He is the
father of Jabu Nkosi.
This is the main meeting space at Tlholego Eco-Village,
built by Joe Kennedy and Paul Cohen. A good deal
of the permaculture workshop took place here.

This is the front of Cynthia's house, where we
gathered the community for an envisioning exercise.
Groups split off to paint their "ideal centers."
Here Beauty (left side) is busy painting with
a few other kids. Beauty also participated in
the permaculture workshop.
This is the finished painting. Their Youth With
A Vision Center contains a pool, library, soccer
field, tennis court, park, and more.
These little ones really want a soccer field.
These ladies are holding up their finished design.
The kids performed for us that night.
