Let us stop the circle of blaming. godfrey from Pretoria

I came across your page by accident, though greatful i am to see it. As a community Artist in the UK i try and use the arts to help troubled youths, offenders and disabled. I know your work is well appreciated, keep it up and keep helping.

Nicro, when you first hear about them you dont really know who they are but slowly you realize that Nicro stands for much more than the National Institute for Crime Prevention and the Reintegration of Offenders. You begin to realize that behind this organization there is hardworking individuals that devote their lives each day to making South Africa a better place and that strives to give deserving people a second chance. They have passion, drive, ambition and strength that only a hand full of people I know possess. They bring to work each day the courage and bravery that true ambassodors hold dear to their hearts. They are dedicated, sophisticated and take each day as a day that they can change someone else's life. Thus I take a page out of their book and try and mirror their efforts in the hope that I too could be able to change someones life for the better. If everyone could have this positive attitude maybe we could make South Africa the Awesome nature that it has the potential to become. Dont you think so?

"...for a safer South Africa". All people need to work together as a T.E.A.M (Together Each Achieves More). that's still a long way off but every little bit of effort counts. If great ideas come and they are strategically acted upon, with enough attention-grabbing 'noise' around them, then so much the better for cause (in informing all those who are genuinely unaware that they too can do whatever little bit they can to fight crime)

Your work is truly a beam of hope,whatever amount of change you achieve in communities,in families,in the hearts of individuals is phenomenal.Any assistance given to one radiates through their attitude and actions and so the good that is achieved by the institute grows and touches people(individual-by-individual.Keep doing the best that can be done-by remaining in existence and through that people know someone out there cares... (my residence manager has come up with an idea that has the potential of greatly assisting this beautiful cause and i'm sincerely hopeful that it'll have an extraordinary impact in the fight against crime and its aftermath...til then keep fighting the GOOD fight)

Dear Soraya and NICRO staff
I regularly pop in to the website to see how things are going. I was delighted to read of the Colloquium on with Indigenous leaders, with a focus on Restorative Justice.
I fondly remember the era in the early nineties of Restorative Justice making it's way as a concept into NICRO circles, and how NICRO (and Southern Africa workers in this field) could bring a unique experience to the world stage. While much of the Restorative Justice work in the Northern Hemisphere came from another perspective, Southern Africa, New Zealand and Australia (and Canada) brought in concepts of Restorative Justice from traditional leaders. I applaud NICRO's work in this area.

Congratulations! The website is so efficient, appealing and very informative . It is so simple in a way that even a kid can understand it .
It is high time for us as South Africans to work together with these organisations like Nicro in preventing crime and that would make our society a place to live in .NICRO's high success rates bear testimony to the impact of the work. This is definetely good work .
