Today marked a significant milestone as MOT South Africa proudly hosted the MOT Schools Impact Report event, unveiling the transformative results of our collaborative project with Rotary International, known as the MOT Courage to Care Global Project.
The research, conducted by SPHER3 NPC, highlighted the invaluable role of the MOT Programme in selected schools within the Cape Flats community. Dr. Punithasvaree Mamdoo from SPHER3 NPC emphasized, “True teachers are those who use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create their own.” This sentiment encapsulates the essence of the MOT Programme and its focus on empowering both educators and learners alike.
Initiated in 2020, the Courage to Care Global Project is a collaborative effort involving The Rotary Club of Wynberg, Haugaland Upper Secondary School, Karmøy Rotary Club, Rotary District 9350, and the Rotary Foundation. MOT SA was identified as an implementing partner and training service provider, addressing the specific needs of the Grassy Park Community, including Fairmount Secondary School, Zeekoevlei High School, and Lotus High School.
The project aimed to create safe schools and local environments where youth can grow and develop in peace and harmony, learning self-acceptance and self-respect. Key shared goals of the project include:
Viola Manuel, MOT SA Country Director, expressed her gratitude for the collective efforts of partners, stakeholders, funders, MOT coaches, and principals. “The latest research results, alongside previous achievements, affirm the impact that the MOT Programme has on our youth. Their support and collaboration have been instrumental in achieving these commendable outcomes.”
A special thank you goes to MOT ambassador Ayanda Dlamini and Heart FM presenter for serving as the Master of Ceremony at the event. Her presence added to the significance of the occasion. We would also like to extend my appreciation to all the guests for attending and contributing to the discussions.
Lastly, heartfelt gratitude to Rotary for their commitment to this remarkable project that positively impacts the lives of countless individuals. And to our MOT coaches, your dedication and passion are truly commendable. Thank you for your unwavering support in empowering our youth and fostering a brighter future for our communities.
