At Seeds of Light, we believe that every individual has the inner resources, talents and skills to actualize their purpose. Collaboration and a bit of support can help inspired people to realize their dreams or start game-changing projects. This was the focus of the Seeds of Light Acornhoek Leadership Forum (ALF).

Seeds of Light’s Acornhoek Leadership Forum (ALF) identified leaders in the community, asked them about their dreams for the community and supported them in starting their own community upliftment projects. We found people with heart, determination and a passion to serve—those whom Seeds of Light refers to as Champions, and we assisted them to develop and achieve their visions.
The course ran for two years and graduated over 30 Champions. These leaders were trained in goal setting, critical thinking and listening and feedback skills. Participants emerged with a sense of great possibility and resourcefulness.
Seeds of Light is proud and excited about the great work that these leaders are continuing to do in their communities. Many amazing, sustainable, grassroots community projects have sprung up largely due to the empowerment that our leaders gained from attending the ALF. Initiatives include: elder care, orphan centers, conservation projects, rural enterprise and tourism, youth and women’s empowerment projects, art and craft training, community gardens and more. We anticipate seeing the ripple effects of this program for years to come.
