I Am Somebody! takes off

After nine months of developing our programme and planning, I Am Somebody! went fulltime from July 1. Already we have establishd partnerships with a corporate company in Cape Town - we will be running a mentorship programme with their 18 to 25-year-old staff in exchange for use of their conference facility. In August we are partnering with My Arms Wide Open http://myarmswideopen.org/ to deliver training to 21 social entrepreneurs in Cradock in the Eastern Cape. In September, we are working with another Cape Town-based non-profit to bring storytelling into a photography project they are doing with high school students. We are also in discussion with Real Stories Gallery http://www.realstoriesgallery.com about partnering with them on their work around HIV/Aids awareness. We're excited to finally be starting the work!
