Together we raised over $80,000
A very special thank you to everyone who supported the Masi fundraising event on September 26th. The event helped raise over $80,000 towards the completion of the youth centre in Masiphumelele, Cape Town.
The funds have been forwarded to the Desmond Tutu HIV Foundation in South Africa via the Vancouver Foundation. This will allow us to complete the construction of the Masi Youth Centre. Thank you for helping to make this happen!

On-site Progress
I am very excited to let you know that the plan is to commence construction in January 2010, and to have the opening ceremonies of the Youth Centre in Masiphumelele in June 2010 just before the World Cup. This is very exciting news for us, who have been supporting the project, and it will be transform the lives of the children and youth of the township of Masiphumelele. Here are copies of MYP’s architect, Nelson Barbosa's drawings, providing an overview of the site:
A team of local workers have been selected to maximize the positive economic effect of the project on the region. At least 50% of the construction workers will be local youth, who will be empowered to participate in the development of their own centre.
