All are welcome to our annual family conference for 2021. A conference aimed at the supporters of those that struggle with addiction or who are living a life of recovery. An amazing opportunity to come and share in the experience of recovery and gain valuable insight and understanding into the process and life-long journey of recovery.

A jam packed weekend with entertainment, great food, amazing lectures, smaller focus groups and wonderful social and networking opportunities. Conference will begin on Friday evening and continue throughout the weekend to finish early Monday afternoon.

Bring the family, extended family and close family friends to all come and learn how best to support the recovery process and also to get some healing and support for the impact addiction may have had on your life.

Conference cost are R1,650.00 for the weekend which includes all meals, drinks with meals, tea time snacks and of course all the stationary and other conference requirements. Kids under 18 are charged R850 and kids under 7 are free.

Normal Covid-19 regulations and safety precautions apply.

We can hardly wait. With all the isolation from family and friends and community this year we are sure that this Christmas time is going to be very special as we gather to share the festivities that will be happening here at Jahara.

We will host our second Christmas Street Party with an amazing performance of Carols from our own band with stalls and food and presents for the kids.

We will of course have the biggest Christmas Day lunch at the centre - A Christmas Day that certainly will not be forgotten.

We are hopeful to be able to arrange a hike and camping for some of the family members around this time.

We are also already preparing for our very own fund raising to support the locals children for Christmas as well.

In line with our drive and determination to provide comprehensive rehabilitation treatment for all types of addictions and associated disorders Jahara is constantly developing new and improved programs to build into our already comprehensive treatment options.

While we have already developed many specialised workbooks and groups to address the multifaceted aspects of addiction/ recovery and implemented numerous specialised therapeutic groups we feel that it would be entirely beneficial and a great addition to our program if we incorporated a new intensive 3 week program based on MRT (Moral Reconation Therapy).

Miguel is trained to facilitate this evidence based program that was birthed in the correctional services of the United States focused primarily on assisting offenders who have substance abuse problems. It has been shown to work fantastically well on those individuals who have attempted the standard rehabilitation programs without success.

We are very excited to see how this program will assist the residents in going deeper into shifting their behaviours, thoughts, attitudes and identity and in developing a better ability in moral reasoning which should help shift their decision making process.

As part of our deep desire to serve and give back and teach residents to serve and give back we feel that it is certainly a great opportunity for us to go and assist in Beira. Not only was this area badly affected by the recent Cyclone we have a resident who lives in Beira and would love to show him, his family and his community our support.

This outreach is therefor very close to our hearts and we are hoping to make just a small bit of difference. We do need your help in collecting as many donations as possible. Clean out your house and give us all of your old unwanted items - anything and everything is needed.

We are hopeful to be going in a convoy of approximately 10 4x4 vehicles with large trailer to transport the 40 individual going as well as the large amount of donations. You guys are welcome to join us on the adventure of a life-time - in fact the more hands we have the bigger the impact.

Please spread the word through your communities to gather as much as possible. If as business you would like to contribute that would be amazing too. Our outreach team will be calling and arranging everything. We will be happy to receive donations at our upcoming mini-conference on the 25th May.

Outreach dates have preliminarily been set for the 13th-20th July. We would like to travel through Mozambique on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 July and spend Monday to Thursday serving in Beira. We will travel back on the Friday and the Saturday so that we have Sunday to prepare for the week ahead. Please put in leave and make an effort to come and help us to be of service.
