As the year comes to an, end many of us are taking the opportunity to reflect on the year that has been.<\/p>\n
The members of the Primrose SAPS Crime Prevention Youth Desk are no different.<\/p>
They recently celebrated another successful year with a fun-filled team building day at Gillooly\u2019s Farm.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe day was a great success, with the entire team enjoying a variety of fun-filled games,\u201d said youth desk secretary Dibuseng Motlokoa.<\/p>
The youth desk thanked all their sponsors who helped make the day special and helped with their 16 Days of Activism projects, including the Primrose CPF, Chubby Chums for the Children\u2019s Homes, Cartoon Candy, Avril Elizabeth Home, King Glory Packaging and Spectrum Properties.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe sponsors also made us certificates which we received at our team building event,\u201d said Dibuseng.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is nice to be appreciated and for people to not view us as children but people trying to make a difference in the community.\u201d<\/p>\n
Primrose CPF chairperson Tracy Enslin and Primrose SAPS station commander Col Albertina Vesi thanked the members for their hard work throughout the year, at the event.<\/p>\n
Youth desk public relations officer Chantel Bergman said: \u201cIt was nice to get a message of support and appreciation from them.\u201d<\/p>\n
As the team heads into the new year, they are appealing to the community to get involved and join the youth desk.<\/p>\n
The youth desk is open to community members between the ages of 15 and 35 years, with a passion for helping the community.<\/p>\n
The group focuses on awareness campaigns, school searches and motivational performances (with themes dictated and\/or determined by the school the group visits), as well as activities that showcase the talents and interests of the members and young people in the community.<\/p>\n
Youth desk meetings are held every Monday evening, from 5.30pm to 6.30pm, at the Primrose Methodist Church in Primula Street.<\/p>\n
