Dear Portfolio Committee on Social Development.
I would like to express my gratitude to the report produced by the committee. We registered our NPO in 2012 and we send reports every year, which means we comply with the NPO legislation. Though we submit reports, we've never received any assistance from the department of social development, let alone capacitating our volunteers. We wrote letters with no avail. They never respond, their phone lines seem to be not attended. The name of our NPO is on the database but we've never received any notice of road shows neither of any workshop. I last attended a NLC Indaba in 2014.

We'd appreciate if we can be invited in meetings and or road shows. I agree with the report that the NPO's that receive funding are those that are already doing well. We'd like to participate in any NPO's activities to strengthen our organisation so that it make a difference in the poor communities.

Your positive consideration will be highly appreciated.

Thanking you.
