Understanding different donor types and their motivations for giving was the primary focus on Days 1 and 2, as this knowledge enables effective connections with potential donors. Participants also initiated work on creating an organisational budget that would serve as the foundation for their fundraising strategy.

The contracts of staff members from two organisations who trained as puppeteers regrettably expired, yet the transferring of knowledge continued. The trained staff members effectively shared their expertise with the rest of the team, thereby enabling RDSP to enhance their skills with coaching during the mentoring visit. Well done to the puppeteers for their commitment to peer-to-peer knowledge transfer, embodying the principle of each one teaching one.

On the third day, puppeteers from Skeyfontein, Groenwater, and Danielskuil delivered their POPPETS program, showcasing a notable increase in puppeteering skills. The young participants thoroughly enjoyed the session and were able to share the lessons learned. We also had the privilege of Belinda Mooketsi from the Lesedi Solar Park Trust attending a session. She told us she enjoyed the session as much as the little ones showing that learning should be fun at any age.
