It was a very emotional experience for the students

Noline Pieterse reflected as follows: “JCP was a life changing experience. Not only did I learn a few new skills like making a vegetable garden or making successful cup cakes that is different than my usual routine, I also learned life lessons like being grateful for what I’ve got and to appreciate my parents… “


Please have a look at the report in the form of a blog.
