On the weekend of the national holiday "Women‘s Day“ on the 09. of August the first Boxgirls Cape Town tournament took place including a broad range of workshops as presentation and media trainings as well as first aid courses and a parents workshop, for which the girls themselves did all the preparation. Themes for that workshop were health, economic empowerment and security and safety. The parents also welcomed the opportunity to meet or renew the acquaintance with Boxgirls founder and director Prof. Dr. Heather Cameron, who led all of the workshops herself aside from the first aid courses, which was hosted by the committed Boxgirls volunteer, paramedic and sport science graduate Heidi.
The parents clearly enjoyed the information and discussion – to such a degree, that only a week later another first aid course took place in the informal settlement of Withstand, this time outspokenly for Boxgirls and family.
