On the 20th of March 2015, “Human Rights Day Celebration 2015” was held in the community of Vrygrond by Where Rainbows Meet. Many people visited the celebration not only from Vrygrond but also from neighboring communities. The Media were present and gave an important coverture of the event. This was an important appointment which took the community of Vrygrond and the total number of attendance was more than 1300 people according to Ricky Fakier of WRM.
The appointment for everybody was at Where Rainbows Meet at 09:00 a.m. Counsillor Shaun August held a speech to the community about Human Rights. After the speech the March started and all participants walked all over the Township. The atmosphere was really great.
In the late Morning a soccer tournament was also held for youngsters and volunteers. At the same time at Where Rainbows Meet many people of the community were entertained with music, games and food.
The Human Rights Programme therefore was a huge success. Thank you everyone for making it a memorable day by creating awareness in Vrygrond and surrounding areas. A special thanks goes to Projects Abroad and Coca Cola for having been our partner for this event as well as MTN Television. Together we can make a big difference.
The upcoming event which WRM schedules is “Youth Day” in June. Keep an eye on Vrygrond and WRM!
