On a visit to the Frankfort prison where we met Prudence Tsitetsi the religious coordinator. What a talent. She organised the Certificate Presentation event. |

| 2006-2007 ANNUAL REPORT |
The activities of New Life Behaviour Ministries for this year mainly revolved round three major aspects: (1) promoting the NLB program, (2) recruiting volunteers and training them to become instructors to teach the behavioural skills curriculum in prisons in South Africa, and (3) assimilation information with regard to the Recidivism rate in Correctional Centres.
The deferent objectives were achieved mainly through (1) the Quality Assurance and endorsement the NLB program and service as received from the Department of Correctional Services (November 2, 2006), (2) workshop and training session NLBM were involved in, and (3) feedback we received form our national task groups.
