SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT LEADERSHIP BREAKFAST

Topic : Charity is dead. What now ?

This was the thinking around the breakfast table when representatives of several welfare organisations, met at Scallywag’s Play Café on Wednesday 28th of February 2007. Here these major role players united their thoughts in sharing as to what the corporate world expects from them and to how they need to strategically position themselves in order to partner with corporates.
Individuals were given the chance to voice their opinions and ideas in the most relaxing atmosphere. An appeal to all organisations to excellence and qualitative service were
gladly welcomed as representatives spoke from experience with the aim to motivate.

The morning was capped off with a good time of networking and feeling of anxiousness as to how we will work together in the future.The next meeting was scheduled for 28 March 2007 at Scallywag’s Play Café.
