1. Ringing in 2010 with FOUR new students!
New students Zintathu, Vuyokazi, Thembisile and Thembikile have all started college this January alongside Anda, Xolani, Mava, and Khanyisa from 2009. That brings our grand total to eight students involved with TNHF. January 2009 began with two but because of your support, we’ve quadrupled our impact! Much more on this to come. 2. The TNHF Women’s Empowerment Fund
Did you know that with every year a woman receives education, her earning potential increases by 10-20%? This spring, we are proud to launch the TNHF Women’s Empowerment Fund geared exclusively at educating and empowering women. TNHF pledges to commit 40% of its funds to women by 2011 and we can’t wait to have you involved. Stay tuned. 3. Upcoming South Africa Trip
A handful of TNHF staff and board members are heading back to South Africa in February 2010. They’ll be reconnecting with our partners and South African staff, interviewing new students, and checking on the development of the TNHF Community Impact Model. 4. J.L. Zwane Soccer Club gets new uniforms and warm-ups!
Thanks to the support of Nike and private donors, the TNHF team will be presenting the soccer club with new kits and warm-ups in February. They’ve had mismatched uniforms for years. But because of the success of TNHF, all that is changing! Meet JL Zwane FC. 5. Signature Series T-shirt Campaign
This spring we’ll be launching a new t-shirt campaign called the TNHF Signature Series. The idea is kind of a secret but it involves specific t-shirts for our various students and artistic renderings of their lives and stories. It’s gonna be cool, trust us. 6. The World Cup in South Africa Lest we forget the greatest tournament on the planet. The World Cup hits South Africa in the summer of 2010 and we couldn’t be more excited. Stay tuned for new campaigns surrounding the World Cup, interactive blogs to stay up to date, and photo journalism projects from the ground all summer long. Thank you for your support and commitment to These Numbers Have Faces. We couldn’t do it without you. Help us achieve our goals this year by donating to These Numbers Have Faces.
