Dear friends, As my journey with Inkululeko approaches its final chapter on July 1st, I find myself reflecting on the moments that truly define our work—the small, profound instances that reveal why we do what we do. Every year, students from the US gather around Gogo's dining room table, sharing a homemade South African meal that becomes one of the most meaningful experiences of their trip. These moments are more than just meals—they're connections, bridges between cultures, and celebrations of shared humanity. It’s something I’ve so enjoyed over the last 14 years. And now, Zuko steps forward because of an unmatched combination of intelligence, hustle, thoughtfulness, and genuine passion. Zuko will move our team, our mission forward—with heart, with intention. This is where you come in. As I prepare to pass the ball, I'm asking you to be part of our continued journey. My birthday fundraiser is an opportunity to support Inkululeko's next chapter—to invest in a team that doesn't just work, but transforms lives. While I am leaving, I believe in this work. I believe in this team, and I will personally match all gifts up to $1,000. Will you pass the ball with me? Will you support the incredible work that continues? With gratitude, Jason P.S. To the many who have passed the ball to me over the years—thank you. Now, let's pass it to Zuko. (fb)

We’re still feeling joyous from the incredible reception at the recent Stitch Lab Graduation! From amazing creations to bright futures, this group of talented women is stitching their way into the next chapter. Led by the Rotary Club of Grahamstown Sunset in partnership with Inkululeko and Creative Women of the World, this initiative supported an inspiring group of women as they gained not only sewing skills, but confidence, community, and a vision for the future.
