The 10/10/10 campaign is picking up speed

  1. How do I say thank you enough for great support and for believing in the work and vision of VYLTP? A wonderful young dominee, Bonganjalo Mbenenge from Jo’burg, pledged and paid R1000 towards the 10/10/10 campaign! Thank you so much my godson! Thank you also to several others who have given over the past month and more, especially the Gambale family and others.
  2. Our young people have also begun to recruit supporters in Zwelihle and Mt Pleasant, people who are willing to give R10 per month from the little that they have. We look forward to the current trickle becoming a stream and then becoming a flood. I have posted the 50 10/10/10 campaign forms to Thobeka Dodo in Durban.

Thank you again, everyone, for your love and support. On Thursday, someone who wishes to remain anonymous heard me speaking to the young people about 10/10/10 campaign and immediately pledged to give R1000 to the campaign! We are deeply grateful.

This week we also received the flight tickets for Cleo and Masixole to go to volunteer in Taizé (France) for 3 months in October. We must now apply and pay for their visas. Please pray for this process.

On 16 June 2026, the Volmoed Youth Leadership Training Programme (VYLTP) marks a decade of changing lives. Over the past ten years, we’ve walked alongside young, unemployed South Africans as they rediscover hope, build confidence, and reclaim a sense of purpose.

Today, VYLTP stands as a beacon of dignity and opportunity for youth striving toward a better future. One of our proudest current initiatives is The Volmoed Drummers — a vibrant project you can explore in more detail here.

As we look ahead, we invite you to help shape the next ten years of possibility.
