Story of success to brighten up your Friday!

We are incredibly proud of this lady! Natasha joined our sozo youth cafe barista school at the beginning of 2019.
She had a two day job at a car wash but this past week she was employed as a barista and waitress at a Lorenzo Marx coffee shop.
This is the result of hard work and dedication! .

Our Technical students from Youth Cafe delivered a Coffee Cart that they built to the team at @gangstar_cafe_sa, @message_trust_sa yesterday.⠀
⠀
We are excited about the opportunities that it will create for young men who were previously in gangs and prison but moving forward to become #urbanheroes. ⠀
⠀
We love partnering with organisations like this! Their work and impact is incredible, go check them out and see how they are changing the narrative from "Gangster to Gangstar"⠀

We had a brilliant time at the Open Gardens Constantia event over the weekend 🌿

To say that our coffee and succulents were a hit would be an understatement.

A huge thank you to everyone who came and supported us and Open Gardens Constantia.

Today marks the #Internationaldayofthegirlchild⠀
⠀
This incredibly important day that is observed on a global level, brings awareness to the needs and challenges girls face, while promoting girls' empowerment and the fulfillment of their human rights.⠀
⠀
We believe that the education and skills development of girls is vital to the health and prosperity of the community we work in and the nation as a whole. ⠀
⠀
This is why we strive for complete gender equality across all of our projects.⠀

Our Barista school students got up close and personal with the beautiful aroma, taste and feel of coffee. ⠀

We love seeing our students gain knowledge and an appreciation for coffee and the art of making it. This is how passion is cultivated.⠀
