A Focus on Health & Wealth Despite certain areas of progress in our country since 1994, disparities in wealth and health are among the widest in the world. In 2008, for example, 54% of South Africans had an income of below $3/day. The top 10% of South Africans account for 58% of annual national personal income, while the balance of 70% received a mere 16.9%. The Gini co-efficient, a measure of income inequality, increased from 0.6 in 1995 to 0.679 in 2009.

In 2005, infant mortality rates ranged from 18/1 000 live births among white people to 74/1 000 among black people, which was much the same as rates in the early 1990s. The figures differed across geographical regions, e.g. 27/1 000 in the Western Cape and 70/1 000 in the Eastern Cape. Overall maternal mortality increased from 150/100 000 pregnancies in 1998 to 650/100 000 in 2007. South Africa comprises almost 17% of the world’s population living with HIV/AIDS. The country has the largest antiretroviral treatment programme in the world, yet only 40% of eligible adults are receiving treatment. The prevalence of HIV infection among those older than 19 years ranges from 16.1% in the Western Cape to 38.7% in KwaZulu-Natal. These disparities and burdens of disease are the tip of an iceberg of dysfunction and malaise within our healthcare system and nation, and are not conducive to sustainable development or maintaining a stable democracy.

The social circumstances influencing health begin with the physical, mental and nutritional states of women during pregnancy and childbirth and continue throughout life. Care of infants, education and nurturing of children, opportunities for further study during adolescence, and access to rewarding work are all enhanced by maternal literacy, as demonstrated in some poor countries with high levels of female literacy. Access to adequate nutrition, clean water, sanitation, housing and basic healthcare is essential. Personal living habits provide individuals with the ability to predispose to, or be protected against, poor health.

THE SOCIAL CLIMATE IN SA

With the introduction of financial deregulation, privatisation and liberalisation of global trade in the late 1970s, the general trend in global health followed two diverging paths. One pursued boosted economic growth and the application of medical advances for the benefit of the top 20% of the global population (about 1 billion people), living predominantly in wealthy countries. The other was characterised by impediments to economic growth for a poor majority, deterioration in their living conditions and curtailment of public health services. In South Africa, apartheid sustained and amplified the effects of both of these pathways. Since 1994, praiseworthy changes have been made in healthcare legislation and practice, and in the living conditions of many. However, continuation of free-market policies, inadequate economic growth, rapid urbanisation, migration, corruption and poor management of public services by the new government have caused disparities to widen. Most South Africans remain severely

impoverished despite social grants, with inferior access to healthcare (excepting HIV/AIDS care).

The challenge is to narrow disparities and to generate opportunities for many more people to survive childhood, reach full human potential and lead healthy, productive lives. Achieving these ambitious goals requires actively striving for the social infrastructure for a healthy population, and for innovative ideas and actions in a balanced healthcare system. The still-evolving global economic crisis, resulting from unbridled consumption prompted by dogged pursuit of flawed economic theory with accompanying widespread fraud and corruption, poses threats to health from widening disparities, climate change and environmental degradation. These are stark reminders of the need for new values beyond those perpetuated by prevailing market rhetoric and current ideology.

This paints a pretty dismal picture, however, the Church of Jesus Christ can and should seek to make a difference by making its presence known and its voice heard. The early Church certainly did, as Christians stressed love and

charity as central duties of faith. In times of epidemics, what difference would there be if Christians showed mercy and charity? Surprisingly, people’s chances for survival improved greatly with minimal care, which Christians provided. Roman pagan doctors had no reason to serve the sick and often fled infected cities. Pagans who could not flee often took sick people outside and left them on the street, afraid of contamination. Christians not only cared for their own, but for others. The result was profound. Many people saw the new view of humanity that came from the Christian faith and converted to Christianity. In 40 AD, there were only 1,000 believers which was only .017% of the 60 million people. It was estimated that by 300 AD there were 6 million Christians in the Empire, which was 10.5 percent of the total population.

Constantine had legalized Christianity and paved the way for it to become the state religion in 381 AD. Although Christians were only 10.5 percent of the population as that century opened, we see transformation of a whole society and culture.

There are similar instances of great social impact in church history.

Societies in Europe, Switzerland, Germany, and Holland were transformed during the Reformation. Remarkable social transformation occurred when a biblical worldview came to England. Laws against slave trade and slavery were eventually passed, influenced by William Wilberforce, a growing consensus in Parliament, the Wesleyan Revival, and a growing groundswell of the Body of Christ. People in the society were putting their faith into practice in new ways.

We have understood only part of God’s agenda—the spiritual. We have not adequately represented God’s whole concerns. Each of us and our local congregations must repent and respond with greater humility, prayer and focus to the physical and social brokenness of our communities. When we hear and obey God, there will be healing. There will be transformation.

May we, the church, see our role in God’s big agenda! May we humble ourselves, repent and serve! May God heal and restore our lands! 2 Chronicles 7:14 May His Kingdom come, on earth as it is in heaven!

For Now we will…

Trust steadily in God! Hope unswervingly!

Love Extravagantly!

The Church as a Window We can use a four-paned window to illustrate the church as a window. Each pane represents one of the four areas in which Jesus grew -"Wisdom," Physical," "Spiritual," and "Social." (Luke 2:52) Because Jesus grew in these four areas, let’s think of them as the four areas of God's concern for human healing and growth. The church is the window through which broken people see God's good intentions in all of these areas.

What do some churches do with this window?  Some churches look at the pane marked "physical" and say, "we do not do physical ministry! We leave that to the government and welfare agencies." When this happens, the windowpane is darkened. The broken people of our community cannot see God's concern for their physical needs through the window of the Church.  Another pane represents God's intentions for healing of all kinds of social brokenness. Some churches might say: "This is not our mandate. We are not engaged in social work!" The windowpane becomes darkened, and broken people cannot observe God's intentions for social healing through the Church.  Another pane represents wisdom. Churches might say: "We are not engaged in wisdom - but only for people in the Church. They must come into the Church before they can learn God's wisdom" When that happens, this pane is darkened. People outside the church cannot see God's intentions for their growth in wisdom.  The final part of the window is the spiritual pane. Churches might say: "Yes! We are called to proclaim the spiritual good news!" When broken people of the community look through the window of the church, what is the only thing they see if the physical, social and wisdom panes are darkened? They only see God's spiritual intentions. The spiritual area is of enormous importance in the present and future, but broken people may not know this.

Maybe some of our Churches need to clean their windows! Broken people need to see through all the panes. God is interested in all of His creation and wants all of us to look through the window of the Church and see His good intentions for us in all areas of our lives.

"If you were facing a major crisis in your life where would you turn for help?'' Probably not the church. People do not know the Church for that which Jesus intended. If your church closes tomorrow, would your community care?

For us to truly make a difference through compassionate care we have to live resurrected lives...

What Happens When We Decide to Live the Resurrected Life:

1 Corinthians 15 Living a Resurrected Life (The Message) 12 Now, let me ask you something profound yet troubling. If you became believers because you trusted the proclamation that Christ is alive, risen from the dead, how can you let people say that there is no such thing as a resurrection? 13 If there's no resurrection, there's no living Christ. 14 And face it - if there's no resurrection for Christ, everything we've told you is smoke and mirrors, and everything you've staked your life on is smoke and mirrors. 15 Not only that, but we would be guilty of telling a string of barefaced lies about God, all these affidavits we passed on to you verifying that God raised up Christ - sheer fabrications, if there's no resurrection. 16 If corpses can't be raised, then Christ wasn't, because he was indeed dead. 17 And if Christ wasn't raised, then all you're doing is wandering about in the dark, as lost as ever. 18 It's even worse for those who died hoping in Christ and resurrection, because they're already in their graves.

19 If all we get out of Christ is a little inspiration for a few short years, we're a pretty sorry lot. 20 But the truth is that Christ has been raised up, the first in a long legacy of those who are going to leave the cemeteries.

We discover that our healing comes through faith and obedience to how God has called us to live. A secular, logical mind thinks that if we just know how to fix it—if we apply our best wisdom and knowledge and our money and our technology—things are going to be healed. But God’s Word contradicts this way of thinking. In 2 Chronicles 7:14, God says: “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven . . . and I will heal their land.” Healing will come when God supernaturally intervenes in our lives, in our society, in history; and He brings the healing. That doesn’t mean that God is not going to use us and our obedience to Him in His plan for healing. God uses His image that He has placed within us; but that image without God won’t provide the healing.

The Bible is God’s revelation for our healing. Think of the Bible as an owner’s manual. Every new appliance that we purchase comes with a manual that describes how to use the appliance, and it’s written by the manufacturer because the manufacturer knows how it was made and how it needs to be used in order to get the greatest use out of it. God is our manufacturer. He made us, and He knows what we need in order to live well. We are to live the way that God calls us to live, seek God’s face, humble ourselves and think that it’s not our wisdom that heals us but that it’s God that heals us. It is as we seek His instructions for how we are to live and as we begin to put those instructions into practice, that our healing comes.

We are created for a purpose. We’re created to know God. We need to know who He is first of all. We’re created to be like Him. We’re created to manage the creation. How do we carry out this purpose? We serve. Our God is a servant God. We are to conform to His image as a servant, and unless we know Him, we’re not going to serve like He does. He commanded us to serve, and that’s what it means to manage God’s creation. We are agents of reconciliation to a broken world.

ENGAGING CHILDREN @ RISK & THE 4/14 WINDOW What is at the Heart of the Matter that put so many Children at Risk in our communities?

There are many reasons why children are at risk and I would suggest one that seems to be the key to understanding and addressing risk and reducing it. What puts a child at risk of violence or other negative factors more than anything else and anywhere in the world, is the absence or lack of stable, safe, and nurturing relationships with loving and caring adults. In God’s design, family should provide such an environment for each child, not just to protect him or her from danger but also to assist in fulfilling the God-given potential of each one . God’s concept of family includes a father and a mother, but not just these two; it is supposed to be a wonderful multi-generational network of people who embrace a child in a web of loving and caring relationships, which last a lifetime.

Unfortunately, that’s not how it works for far too many children in this world. What matters is not only the presence of parents or caregivers, but their willingness and capacity to act in their children’s best interests. Let’s consider just some of the disturbing situations and statistics: - 21% of children in South Africa, about 3.9 million orphans who have lost one or both parents.

- 23% of children do not live with either of their biological parents.

- About 34% of children live in households where no adults are employed.

- 18% of children live in households that report hunger, therefore, the high levels of children suffering from stunting indicates chronic malnutrition.

- Children under the age of 5 account for 80% of deaths in South Africa ( Causes: neonatal infections, HIV, diarrhoea, lower respiratory infections.)

A paradigm shift from institutional toward family-based care for orphans and vulnerable children is needed. Our government has adopted the goal of developing a child welfare system that supports families and more NPO/NGOs and churches are focusing their efforts both on strengthening families, and finding and supporting loving and caring homes for children who need them. We need to develop strategies that include training in special parenting; household economic strengthening; reduced violence through protective policies; improved services; values and norms that protect children; education and life skills.

The local church has traditionally has been active in helping the needy; many faith-based organizations and others reach millions of children; networks and movements further mobilize Christian community for children-related causes. The problem is not that the church is not doing much, but that the Body of Christ is capable of so much more. The local Church is uniquely positioned and has the potential to spearhead the movement towards transforming its community and turn the world into a better place for children.

The Bible describes the Church as the Body of Christ, transcending denominations, organizations, countries, people groups etc. For those who call themselves Christians and mean it, this is our main identity: the family of God. The Church is uniquely positioned in its community for the task of changing it into a better place. It has a clear mandate from the Word of God to champion the cause of those who need help and serve them . The Bible is very specific on what family life should look like, how children are to be treated, and what a high priority caring for vulnerable groups of society, especially children.

Ways Every Christian Can Care for the Orphan and Vulnerable Child PROTECT them from harm. Become a foster parent or emergency foster parent. Raise money to build a children’s foster home and help remove children from the streets.

DEVELOPING STRONG FAMILIES God's Purpose for the Family

God created the institution of the family with a four-fold purpose. 1) To provide companionship through marriage (Genesis 2:18-25) and having children. 2) To be an active and powerful evangelism and discipleship center (Deuteronomy 6:5-7). 3) To be an earthly model of Christ and the church (Ephesians 5:22-32). 4) To provide and care for its members financially and physically (1 Timothy 5:4, 8, John 19:26-27).

Today, perhaps more than ever before, the family is being fragmented and undermined by many counter-forces such as busyness, relentless change, a lack of clear moral values, an attitude of indifference and children being forced to grow up too fast. When families are unhealthy, our communities suffer many of the consequences in areas relating to economic productivity, education, law enforcement, health care needs, abuse, and violence.

DOLM Family Matters offers hope for today’s family by: - Educating family members about the strategic role they play in their homes and communities.

- Equipping family members with successful relational skills and resources to make better family choices.

- Encouraging family members to keep their promises and fulfil their commitments to one another.

The family is God’s smallest unit in the battle for the soul of any nation. He designed the family as the birthplace and residence of Christianity.

It is the place where the knowledge, fear, and love of the Lord are taught by parents and learned by children. The family is where character is planted and grown. It is the place where civility and respect for others are nurtured and cultivated

If the soul of our country is to be restored, it will be done through one home and one family at a time. In the church we assist that by proclaiming God’s truth for the family. We need a ―family transformation.‖ If we get to fully understand God’s purpose for the family, it will transform the family and restore spiritual vitality in our homes, communities and nation.

EMPOWERING VULNERABLE WOMEN Women all over South Africa face the dark reality of abandonment, exploitation, and abuse. DOLM works to reach the most vulnerable of these with the light of the Gospel. We seek to meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of women through programs like abuse prevention, safe migration and trafficking awareness, general and maternal health, vocational training, family counselling, and discipleship.

MATERNAL/CHILD HEALTH Obstetric supplies, medicine, vitamins, and specialized training are among the ways we improve the well-being of pregnant women and mothers of new-borns in remote villages and impoverished communities. This fills a critical gap in healthcare, provides peace of mind for young mothers, and helps save the lives of women and babies.

LITERACY A quality education can lift marginalized women out of the cycle of poverty, equipping them to support themselves and their families. Samaritan’s Purse works with Christian partners around the world to provide women with education opportunities.

GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE DOLM & its partners trains pastors and ministry leaders on how to counsel and rehabilitate victims of gender-based abuse. We teach men and women how to live together in a Godhonouring way to prevent further cases, and provide biblical materials and other support for educational programs conducted by church partners.

COMMUNITY HEALTH WELLNESS CENTRES & HOLISTIC COMMUNITY HEALTH PROGRAMMES In many cultures an age-old pattern of male dominance means that women are deprived of education and opportunities to understand their dignity and value as persons created in the image of God. The teaching focuses on holistic community health and is intended to equip the participants to return to their communities and begin to encourage women in their relationships with God, and teach them how to live as godly wives and mothers.

Even though the topics are particularly relevant to rural women, the principles are applicable to any situation. These principles address issues related to the physical, mental and spiritual health of women, with a particular emphasis on pre-natal and post-natal care. The latter makes a direct and dramatic impact on the survival of infants and their mothers–particularly in rural and poverty stricken areas.

Community Health Evangelism (CHE) is a ministry approach and strategy that seamlessly integrates evangelism, discipleship and church planting with community development. The ministry is holistic, seeking to obey everything that Jesus commanded and addressing the holistic need of individuals and communities.

The purpose of Community Health Evangelism and Wellness Centres is not just breaking the cycle of poverty or planting churches, although both of these things are accomplished. The real goal of CHE is a transformation in lives and communities that is as deep as the human heart, and as broad as the whole range of the human experience. Through this process we want Jesus to be recognized as Lord over all creation. We want our development activities to be channelled through the local church and reflect the depth and breadth of the kingdom of God. We are asking God to work in and through us to transform beliefs and change behaviour so that His peace, justice, compassion, and righteousness are reflected in the life of the communities we serve.

The wellness centres also become a platform at the local church in the community for potential support groups, health consultation and medicine distribution. It also opens up opportunities for the church to do ministry more holistically.

Health Related Teaching & Equipping Programs Available: HIV and the Role of the Church: Health Education Program CHE Lesson Plans and Picture Books: This series of lessons addresses the key health issues in the world today, based on recommendations from the World Health Organization.

The lessons are based on information and excellent illustrations from the Health Education Program For Developing Countries, as well as other sources.

HIV Home Based Care & Family Community Support: This manual has two main focuses: Home-Based Care and Family and Community Support.

The Home-Based Care module develops church-based compassionate care teams, who will teach family members in care of the person living with AIDS. The overall goal of this module is to help relieve and reduce suffering—providing hope for eternity and promoting better quality of life for the person living with AIDS. The Family and Community Support module provides tools for assessing and developing strategies for keeping the families and the community intact socially, economically, and physically--for example, working with orphans, and hospice care.

This module focuses on the church by creating awareness of the HIV epidemic, advocating a Biblical lifestyle, and showing compassion to those already living with HIV. This Teaching helps the church to recognize its responsibility to the community concerning HIV. Health Screening and Education Workshop: Health Screening & Education is an innovative approach for churches, communities, and short-term health teams. With a combination of health screening and participatory teaching, along with a Health Fair for children, adults and children learn how to prevent major health problems such as heart disease, strokes, diabetes and many types of cancer. This manual includes four lessons. The first lesson gives an overview of Health Screening & Education, exploring the reasons to do it and practical steps to carry it out. The second lesson works through the practical preparations for health screening and a Health Fair.

The third lesson includes games that can be used in a Health Fair to teach health skills to children. The fourth lesson focuses on follow-up—churches and communities learn to examine the results of the Health Screening & Education and plan follow-up activities.

HIV and Children & Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission This manual has two main focuses: HIV and Children and Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT). The HIV and Children module is an aid to communities and churches desiring to address the needs of orphans and vulnerable children in their community.

The increasing number of children left without adult caregivers has made this a daunting task, indeed. The PMTCT module develops a comprehensive program to prevent mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV through education, behaviour change, and administration of an anti-retroviral drug for mother and child at time of delivery. It provides for perinatal health education for all the pregnant women in the community and encourages HIV testing for all pregnancies through participating clinics.

Children’s Health Evangelism

Children's CHE: Children’s CHE is community health evangelism with children. Children’s CHE can take place anywhere there is a group of children—in the community, during Sunday school, in a Bible Club or Kids Club, during Vacation Bible School or in the school. Through Children’s CHE, many children begin to follow Christ and tell others about him. They also learn many new skills and are active in their community. Children learn health and social skills, and share what they have learned with their family, friends and neighbours. Through Bible stories and Biblical teaching, many children come to know Christ and grow in him, and they are eager to share their faith with others. Children become involved in community projects, such as recycling, community clean-up or building play areas.

Caring for Yourself: Children can learn skills to care for themselves. Many health problems can be prevented by simple practices such as brushing teeth, washing hands, and good hygiene. As children learn these skills, they will be healthier and they can also show their family, friends and neighbours their new health habits. The children will also learn practical skills, such as making Tippy Taps for hand washing, and using soda bottles to purify water. Caring for Yourself includes lessons on dental care, eye care, general health, good manners, hygiene, and safe drinking water.

TRAINING & DICSIPLESHIP NEIGHBOURHOOD TRANSFORMATION IS A RESULT OF TRAINING AND DISCIPLING Education plays a vital role in poverty alleviation, therefore, the training modules made available to the local church is directed at equipping the church. The material is presented on a workshop basis and can be done over a weekend from Friday to Sunday. Each of the modules have a practical outflow where the participants get involved in their local community doing practical ministry.

DOLM Youth Gap Year Programme

The Health & Welfare Seta (HWSeta) Training

The DOLM Gap Year opportunities differ from the secular gap year opportunities, in that the work is related to the Christian faith. These days there are many Christian Gap Year opportunities, which give young people a chance to express their faith in a number of practical ways. These ways may involve administration, youth work, evangelism, working with children, working in the community, etc. Alternatively, the Christian Gap Year could involve having practical duties in a Christian Project in either a Western or a Third world Country.

Skills development in South Africa is a national priority meeting the country’s skills needs. It requires collaboration between numerous public and government entities, educational institutions, training providers, as well as private organisations, and NPO’s no matter how big or small.

The DOLM Gap Year enables students to take time out from studying, and it can be a valuable opportunity to mature before they re-launch themselves into an intensive study course for four long years. For those who have absolutely no idea what they want to do in the future, this Gap Year will help them to discern their own strengths and weaknesses and develop personal skills for the future, and perhaps find their place in the world. The young person will be taught independence with Christian support, so that they can settle back into study with a new vision and perspective. Their adventures will give them a maturity and self-confidence that will stand them in good stead when applying for a job or new place at college. They'll know better about what they want to apply for and have more understanding of what working hard really means…. And finally…their Christian Gap year will involve meeting with other Christians from all walks of life, perhaps forming friendships that last a lifetime!

The Church Responding to Requests for Help

Proposal to the DOLM/Baptist Union / WPBA Executive Summary The Social Project is an NPO which will, through local entrepreneurs, operate supplementary education centres in rural areas, townships and informal settlements across South Africa in order to help address the unacceptably low levels of education found in many of these communities.

Through using IT, the tablet-based programme will use existing content and learning materials, inviting various role-players to collaborate towards developing employable and entrepreneurial school leavers.

Educating Productive Nations South Africa has massive learning inequalities, not dissimilar to the economic scenario in the country which “boasts” the highest Gini coefficient in the world. Those in private schools and top state schools receive an education on par with the best anywhere, while those in rural and poorer areas have a throughput rate of less than 20%.

The results of the education crisis can be seen in massive unemployment levels, frightening crime rates and up to 50% of the population living below the poverty line. Government has been unable to adequately address the situation and many in the private sector have begun initiatives to do so.

What is needed is a large scale self-sustainable approach: Learners need to have a safe space to learn, in a climate of possibility, where someone cares about them, through educational content that will complement what they are learning at school and supplement it with further skills and knowledge vital to the workplace.

Methodology A member of the local community will be trained to operate the centre from an existing central location (ideally a church), and will market the centre to members of the community, all the way from Grade 0 to Grade 12.

Using tablets run through a central server, the facilitator will guide the learner through the day’s lesson, which will be a pre-set lesson using various apps and software, pre-loaded onto the devices according to grade, subject and section. Our primary focus areas are: English, Science, Technology, Entrepreneurship and Creativity, Environmental Safety and Maths.

Learners will pay a monthly fee of approximately R50 (community dependent) to have five hour-long lessons a week; 50% of this income will be given to the facilitator as a commission. Holiday schools are an additional income and outreach opportunity.

A typical session for a Grade 3-12 learner:  Arrive every afternoon of the week at your designated time, greet and get your tablet. The Centre is a safe environment and the facilitator shows an interest in your life.  Log in to your personal profile and answer Key Questions.  Once a week take a five minute “Leadership Lesson” based on the life of Jesus.  Get given your tasks for the day for whichever subject you are doing: - Designed to stimulate curiosity.

- To allow for creativity.

- Cater to different learning styles and academic abilities.  Work on the tablet for the remaining part of the hour: a 45 minute lesson and 15 minutes of a game from an app list that encourages creativity and development of logic.  Progress will be measured and learners rewarded with various incentives.

English: We believe that both for future employment and cost reasons, it is vital that the centres operate using English as the medium of instruction.

In Grades 0-2, as learners develop their English skills and fluency, students will have reading circles and English tuition every afternoon and only use tablets occasionally for reading and literacy games and activities.

An English literacy programme is being developed for learners of any grade.

Finances: As a social business, the Social Project aims to be self-sustainable and ultimately to generate a profit, which must be reinvested into the programme or used to lower fees and extend the reach of the programme.

Our ultimate target is 1 million learners who will emerge from the programme as employable individuals: computer literate, fluent in English, competent in basic maths and science, safety conscious, creative and entrepreneurially minded; ideally with a matric that enables them to follow their passions and interests.

At a targeted average of 80 learners per centre, this would equate to 12 500 jobs being created. A total of R550 (Jan-Nov) for 240 lessons equates to R2,50 per hour.

Partnerships: We have various agreements and MOUs already in place with organisations that will provide office space, network infrastructure, funding for the tablets in the pilot projects (running from July 2015 – December 2016), input into the pedagogic design of the materials, English reading materials for junior learners, learning content and suitable apps.

“No army can stop an idea whose time has come” – Victor Hugo

DOLM BUSA is exploring an initiative called “The Social Project” which aims to run much needed tutorial sessions on a variety of key subjects for school children in church buildings and halls. This will provide the participating children the kind of follow-up action and consolidation needed. This process has the potential to make a significant impact on our children’s academic development.

Michael Darby, a passionate young Christian who has experience in education and understands the challenges, having among other things started a school from scratch which now numbers over 1000 students, is the producer and originator of this programme.

Please circulate the information as widely as possible. A pilot phase is due for launch soon, People who are interested can contact Michael Darby directly or theDOLM Office and we will forward the information appropriately. There is also an invitation to teachers is attached.

A DOLM Task Team on education will be formed and will be asked to monitor, give input and advise us further on developments.

Please take time to meet Michael Darby. His contact details: 084 405 4638 / mike@socialproject.co.za / Website: www.socialproject.co.za Please continue to pray for DOLM as we endeavour to mobilise local churches to engage this process that will potentially impact so many children.

An Invitation to Great Educators Creating a Productive Nation Did you know that up to 70% of learners in Grade 1 today won’t get a matric? That creates a whole lot of adults who don’t have the skills and knowledge necessary to create their own jobs, or be employed – and a continuation of the terribly unequal society in which we live. The Social Project is a non-profit organisation operating centres across South Africa at which learners from rural and disadvantaged communities can supplement their school education, primarily using tablet technology. Our vision is 10 000 iLearning Centres with 1 million learners, changing the face of South African society as we equip learners to be entrepreneurial and employable citizens!

Quality Content We have developed a platform through which teachers can create lessons with minimal time and effort, using the best content available on mobile platforms and the internet – videos, documents and apps. We don’t want to create more content – just harness the best that’s out there! Exceptional Educators nothing can ever remove the importance of a teacher, but for the millions of learners who need more than they’re getting at school, we want to create as close an experience as possible with a model that is scalable and affordable. So we need great teachers to help us by creating a few lessons each, that we can put on our system to be accessed by learners all over the country.

Be a Change Agent If you are an English, Maths, Science, Technology or Computers teacher, we can use you! We can’t offer any money right now, as a non-profit organisation, but we can give you the opportunity to be a part of changing our country – and we are working on ways of showing you our gratitude.

If you would like to design a few lessons for us, please visit www.socialproject.co.za and Let us know by submitting your details on the “Contact” page.

Help us to help learners help themselves!

Almost universally when disaster strikes, people turn to God either for comfort, aid or to express grief and/or anger. It has also become more common, particularly in response to disasters reeked by fellow humans, for people to respond with mindless fear.

(And we should not miss that many disasters have been caused by both nature and other humans.)

While being a normal and powerful human emotion, fear should never be a Christian's response to tragedy or violence. Scripture makes it clear that first, our lives are not our own, and second, that nothing which harms us physically can harm our souls which are in God's care.

There is much, on a physical level on this earth, to be afraid of. Violence can catch us unawares from both the natural world and from our fellow humans, However, both forms of terror find their power in our response.

Disasters often reveal the strength of human character and resolve through great acts of generosity and kindness. It is also vital that these disasters reveal human determination and grit, lest humanity fall victim to terror and embrace mindless fear and crippling blame.

As in most cases, human inflicted tragedy revealed both love and fear from both Christian and non-Christian alike. Some people often cry terrorism due to the racial and religious background of the perpetrator/s. In doing so, an event that was never even intended as an act of political or psychological terror ended up terrorizing many anyway. There is much discussion about victims who themselves are violent and lawless, or are they victims of injustice and neglect. Surely the answer involves a complicated combination of both. As Christian faith and as bible-based believers, seeking to help the matter we should strive toward three goals: Firstly, we should respond with compassion and kindness providing immediate aid, prayer and defence from fearful slander and attacks; Secondly, Christians should respond with brokenness and humility, understanding that they are separated from their brothers and sisters in affected disaster or tragedy simply by affluence, liberty and privilege only and Thirdly, Christians seeking to help disaster victims now and in the future should take human injustice more seriously.

Just as tectonic plates secretly build pressure until they explode with a violent quake, so injustice is menacingly grinding up human life all over the world, just waiting for the next spark to set off human disaster.

DOLM Network It is the process of developing a policy of that will form the basis of our Christian Disaster Response to assist victims of natural and man-made disasters in South Africa and in other countries by invitation. DOLM Network will endeavour to give assistance to disaster victims regardless of race, colour or creed.

At present in the event of a domestic disaster, DOLM Network will respond in cooperation with the Salvation Army and other national voluntary organizations active in disaster response and management. DOLM would seek to provide disaster assistance through local churches and agencies in the affected area at the request of churches.

Workshops! Workshops! Workshops!

Practical Projects One of our practical projects any church can embark upon is the “DOLM Kids Kit� that contributes towards disaster preparedness.

DOLM Kids Kit Design & Content: This is a drawstring bag that is big enough to hold a toothbrush, toothpaste, facecloth and bar of soap.

The purpose of the kit is to encourage young children in difficult circumstances to take care of their own basic health, ie to brush their teeth and wash their hands and face. It also provides an opportunity to build relationships and a healthier younger generation.

The DOLM office has two workshops available that will facilitate further preparedness and equipping the church for disaster responsiveness. Should you be interested please contact our office for more information so we can present these workshops to your membership.

Disaster Preparedness: Workshop Lessons are designed to teach a theoretical framework for disaster preparedness. The material provides tools to help a community assess its hazards and vulnerabilities and have a vision for disaster preparedness as a motivation for development.

We then have the on-going involvement in their lives as they return for the items in the bag to be replaced.

An encouraging card will also be enclosed in the initial issue of the bag. We suggest that you make as many bags as you are able to and send it to your regional Association Office.

Please contact the DOLM Office should you need more information regarding your involvement with this project or others.

Responding to Disasters: During this workshop we discuss ways to respond to a large number of disasters, including stories, experiences and responses. The intent is to help give people a wide variety of tools to respond to a disaster with the assets they have on hand; giving them the skills they need to make an appropriate and speedy response.

NGOs in South Africa The Register of Nonprofit Organisations (NPOs) is a voluntary registration facility that enhances the credibility of the registered NPO as it reports to a public office. The NPO Directorate, as a public office, holds information about registered NPOs for the public to access. This thus, increases the transparency and accountability of the organisation beyond its immediate role-players. This accountability and transparency improves the governance of an organisation as it is also expected that a registered NPO must comply with the requirements of the NPO Act. The NPO registration status is also a funding requirement for most donor and funding agencies. The national NPO registration facility therefore brings NPOs into a public system that allows for information about the sector to be gathered and made publicly available which in many ways increases the confidence of the public in the non-profit sector.

An NPO is defined, in terms of section 1 of the NPO Act, as a trust, company or other association of persons established for a public purpose and of which its income and property are not distributable to its members or office bearers except as reasonable compensation for services rendered. Nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) and community based organisations (CBOs) are collectively known as non-profit organisations (NPOs). In some instance, NPOs are also referred to as Civil Society Organisations (CSO).

To apply for registration as a NPO, organisations fill-in a prescribed application form and submit it to the Directorate for Non-profit Organisations with two copies of the organisation’s founding document i.e. a constitution for a volunteer association; memorandum and articles of association with the company’s registration letter for a not-for-profit company; and a deeds of trust with the trustees authorisation letter for a trust. The founding document of the organisation must meet the requirements of section 12 of the NPO Act.

NPO Registrations Service: Registering the NON profit organisation with the Directorate of Non Profit Organisation. The Directorate registers NPO's at no cost. DOLM charges an admin fee of R 250 to cover paper work and Internet expenses.

Registering as a Public Benefit Organisation (PBO)

HOW DO I APPLY FOR INCOME TAX EXEMPTION AS A PUBLIC BENEFIT ORGANISATION (PBO)?

How to apply?

On an EI 1 Application form (downloaded from the SARS site and to be completed by all organisations). This application form must:

Registering as a Public Benefit Organisation (PBO) with the South African Revenue Service (SARS) in terms of section 10(1)(cN), requires that an organisation complies with a number of initial administrative requirements in terms of section 30 of the Income Tax Act 58 of 1962 (the Act). Further, compliance procedures are prescribed in the Act which has to be adhered to in order for an income tax exempt organisation to retain its exempt status.

It remains beneficial for organisations which conduct Public Benefit Activities (PBAs) listed in the Ninth Schedule to the Act, to apply for income tax exempt status.

Firstly, once an organisation is exempt from income tax in terms of section 10(1) (cN) of the Act, and becomes a Public Benefit Organisation (PBO), provision is made that certain receipts and accruals of that organisation will be tax exempt.

PBOs are permitted to carry on limited business or trading activities on a tax-free basis within certain specific parameters, but will be taxed on receipts and accruals derived from any business undertaking or trading activity that falls outside the parameters of these permissible trading rules. Therefore, preferential tax treatment is provided to PBOs. Further, a PBO could consider applying for section 18A donor deductibility status. An organisation which qualifies as a PBO in terms of section 30 of the Act and conducts PBAs listed in Part II of the Ninth Schedule, will qualify for this status. Subsequently, donors of funds to such a PBO will be permitted to deduct the value of its donation from its taxable income. This is a significant benefit which could assist in attracting donations. A donation will be deductible if the donation: - Is supported by a donation certificate; and — - Does not exceed 10 percent of the taxable income of the taxpayer calculated allowing any deduction under section 18A.



Contain the details of three unconnected persons i.e. three people who are not related to each other. People are considered to be connected if they are close relatives to one another.



Be signed by the organisation’s Public Officer / Public Representative or agent.

A written undertaking must accompany the EI 1. Depending on the nature of your organisation, it will be one of the following: El 2 - Written undertaking (only for public benefit organisations to ensure compliance with section 30 of the Income Tax Act) The EI 2 must be signed by the three unconnected office bearers contained in the EI 1 application form.

What supporting documents are needed?

A Founding Document – which is either of the following: 1. Signed and Dated Constitution (if you are an Association of Persons) Signed copy of the Trust deed from the Master’s Office and Letter of Authority from the Master of High Court (if you are a Trust) Copy of the Memorandum of Incorporation and Articles of Association (if you are a non-profit company registered with Company Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC).

Legible certified copies of a valid identity document of all three fiduciary responsible office bearers as well as the Public Officer / Representative (if different from that of the three office bearers).

2. A copy of a bank statement with original bank stamp or eStamped statement not more than three months old that confirms the account holder’s legal name, account number, account type and branch code where applicable; or if a taxpayer has opened a new bank account and cannot produce a bank statement, they will need an original letter from the bank on the bank letterhead with the original bank stamp confirming the account holder’s legal name, account number, account type, branch code and reflecting the date the bank account was opened.

3. Financial Statements must be submitted if the organisation has been in existence for longer than a year (and for each financial year that it has been in existence). If the organisation has been in existence for more than a year, but it has not been in operation (dormant), it must submit an affidavit with its bank statements.

4. Proof of residential or physical business address.

- For the organisation; and - For the Public Officer (if not already registered with SARS as a taxpayer).
