These Shoes Were Made For Running

The beginning of May was an exciting time for five of our Themba youngsters. They started a running programme.

Experienced athletes, Thia, Elna and Michelle have started training Iyamangalisa Manangana, Thando Dlokolo, Simone Dumezweni, Azazole Matiti and Charmelle Bacelathe once a week.

The youngsters’ training started with the basics and previous running experience and fitness was not a prerequisite for them to participate. A willingness to learn, was.

And what equipment does every runner need? A good pair of running shoes, which is exactly what each child received at the beginning of their journey. We believe this training will have a positive impact on every area of their lives and we are very grateful for volunteers Michelle, Elna and Thia, who have made this possible.
