This program has already seen impressive results, and aims to continue pairing aspiring artists with suitable professionals to help them refine and commercialise their skills. Elcado Blom based in Leeu Gamka has also worked with internationally renowned street artist Falko and painter, Louis Jansen van Vuuren.

LAPTUIN

The need to focus on food security in Prince Albert was brought into sharp focus by the economic hardship experienced as a result of COVID-19. It is a priority for PACT going forward to include programs that focus on self-sufficiency, nutrition and sustainable food systems – from seed banks to small-scale farming projects. A gardening internship programme called LAPtuin has been developed in partnership with Renu Karoo and the Department of Agriculture, as a way to educate the community on sustainability and cultivating home gardens. Land has been provided in South End for a vegetable garden and this produce supplies the centre’s kitchen and feeding programme.

WISHLIST

Permaculture training, seeds, plants, gardening equipment
