TRAINING

Three retreats will take place (April 10, May 08 & June 05) for training and planning of the Camps programme and there is an urgent need for volunteers. We therefore invite new volunteers, as well as remind others to offer themselves to serve. Interested persons are asked to register online using the link provided. This is your opportunity to invest in the lives of our Youth. https://tinyurl.com/Counsellor-JBUCamps2021
