PLACEMENT!

Hi Mackenzie,

Well it looks like South Africa has an alternative placement option available for you. It's called the Displaced and Migrant People Support Programme located in Johannesburg. Check out http://dmpsp.wordpress.com/mission/ for more information.

You will be getting more information on your placement, living situation and visa shortly!

"Displaced and Migrant Persons Support Program offers assistance to people who have been displaced by Conflict, Economic Migration, Natural Disasters and Calamities.

Displaced People, especially children, are those which through the nature of their prevailing situation are sometimes vulnerable to abuse.

DMPSP strives to ensure the protection of the rights of displaced and migrant persons.

We monitor infringements on the rights of such persons, providing support and assistance to any displaced persons which have suffered as a result of such infringements, exposes human rights abuses and identifies failures in their protection."
