CRIME TURN AROUND CONFERENCE ( 4 Sep. 2010)

Motivated by Gods love for them, the DR. Church in Kameeldrift decided they had enough and became involved in their community with a “crime combating plan”.

The story of Kameeldrift is a story of hope, not only for those who suffered, but even more so, for those who became involved.

The idea for this conference was born in the reflection on our crime combating plan. Because the whole crime situation was new for us, we did some things right, but we also made a few mistakes. We also realized the discussion about crime must be held much wider than in our own community.
