The Shakti Women Peer Mentoring Programme |

Our trainers are two women who have a national profile and years of experience in designing and delivering peer mentoring programmes.
This is investment in our future and whist the programme is costing £365 per person to develop, we have found funding though lottery to cover most of the costs. Women who are not currently employed but are interested in supporting their communities can register free (places permitting). Members £25 and non members £75.
The costs include the design and delivery of the bespoke programme, accommodation charges (including refreshments and lunch) and all your hand outs etc. We will also have a number of follow up briefings to to see how parterships are working out and to evaluate the impact of the programme.

Pempamsie Invites KOFIARTS |
On Friday 18th April 2008 7pm to 10.30pm
ART & CONVERSATION
A night to view, question, discuss and learn.
The I Stand Here print and poem has captured the imagination of the public. Stimulating and provoking debate and awareness of our history.
Kofi the artist uses the image to take you on a journey explaining how this historical image came to him. He talks in detail of its meaning, asking the question of the role the Black man has and will play in the evolution of our past and present history.
Kofi is joined by Steven Ssali in the second half of our programme; where they will both address some of the health issues we face as Black men. They cover prostate cancer, diabetes and impotency. Looking at the courses and solutions through diet, exercise and herbs.
Our health is our wealth, and our tradition is the road back
to that wealth.
Entrance Free
at: 102 Brixton Hill London SW2
