Fellowship Days

Team Programme ‘Appreciation Days’ to Become ‘Fellowship Days’

Hands at Work in Africa has announced a small but meaningful update to one of the long-standing elements of its Team Programmes. What have traditionally been known as Appreciation Days will now be called Fellowship Days.

These days have long formed a regular part of team visits from partners, creating intentional space for visiting Teams and local Care Workers to spend time together, encourage one another, strengthen relationships and deepen partnerships. 

The new name, Fellowship Days, reflects this focus more clearly – highlighting connection, shared experience and mutual encouragement between Teams and the Care Workers who faithfully serve children and communities each day.

Teams will still be welcome to provide gift bags or contribute special lunch items for Care Workers if they wish, in discussion with their International Office. However, this is considered an optional addition rather than an expectation of the day.

Hands at Work looks forward to seeing how Fellowship Days continue to strengthen partnerships and bless Care Workers and the communities they serve.
