12 December – Human Rights
Today we spoke to Yumna Van der Skyf – from Ons Plek. Ons Plek is the only intake shelter for girls in Cape Town. The girls’ basic needs of food, clothing, shelter, education and love are provided. The children who go to Ons plek are not looking for an identity as former street children but want to be seen as ordinary children.
