Internasionale Toekenning

BADISA is 'n kerkgebasseerde nie-regeringsorganisasie wat in die Wes-, Oos en Noord-Kaap werk deur sy 150 programme.

Onlangs het een van BADISA kinderhuise, die Durbanville Kinderhuis 'n baie gesogte toekenning ontvang vir sy program vir internasionale vrywilligers.

Die Ubuntu Voluntary Service Award is toegeken aan Durbanville as die beste vrywillgerprogram in Afrika.

Die beoordelaars het gesê: “We are delighted to announce that the winner of the Ubuntu International Voluntary Service Award for 2009 is the Durbanville Children’s Home.

   This project is outstanding in the support, training and empowerment that it affords to volunteers and the way in which it recognizes the extent to which they have been able to improve the quality of life of the children in the children’s home.

   The programme also distinguished itself for encouraging the volunteers to introduce innovative and sustainable programmes, and for their integration with the administration, programmes and staff of the home. 

   For these features it receives the Ubuntu Gold Award.”

Die program word reeds die afgelope drie jaar deur Yvonne Mathieson bestuur.

Die naas-beste programme in die kompetisie is van Ghana en Togo.
