Tiny rays of hope
Living in a violence-scarred community with a strong gang culture and going to bed hungry, many have had a run-in with the law. Unlike most young men in these circumstances, however, these boys have been trying to resist the bogus solutions offered by crime. They have, instead, looked for guidance from an innovative therapeutic programme offered by the Ekupholeni Mental Health Centre in Thokoza.
