"You may not be able to fix lives, but if you can make someone feel that their life is WORTH fixing... that is something... something wonderful".

Our vision for the future is to reach more people. We are presently running 6 courses a year for prisoners and members (prison warders). In 2012 we hope to run the course for a group of policemen and woman in addition to the regular courses we run in the prisons.

To reach more people, we need to grow our Heart-Work team. We are doing this by training suitable ex-prisoners (who have done the Heart-Work course) as facilitators for Heart-Work. We tried it out for the first time in 2010 with great success. Ultimately, we would like to be able to employ suitable ex-prisoners to work as permanent facilitators on the Heart-Work program.
