Third chair
Sylke Funk has been working as a social worker and family therapist for more than 40 years. For 14 years she has been developing and leading projects in Hout Bay’s township Imizamo Yethu. The projects are now all directed by local clubs or schools.
Sylke is still working as a family therapist at a Model C School (an old multidisciplinary state school). In her work as the director of a volunteer organization, she met many young people who did an excellent job in the township projects.
Sylke is happy to be able to share the chairmanship with Pauline and Birgitta, 2 former volunteers. Sylke has withdrawn from active project support and wants to focus together with the other club members on collecting as much donations as possible for a good cause in Imizamo Yethu (IY or Mandela Park).
Sylke is a networker and therefore has many reliable contacts in the community. She is a founding member.
