Our Projects Children Projects
Free, accredited, Trauma Training courses for Child workers were hosted in Paarl and George.
Papillon is the patron of a partner Non Profit “Apples of Gold” that offers trauma courses to members of the communities that work with children.
SAPS volunteers, emergency workers, teachers, Non Profit workers, Crèche workers and many others attend the internationally accredited courses.
