A MISSION TO HELP TRANSFORM LIVES

The concept of TTK (Transformation Through Knowledge) was birthed 10 years ago when John Smith, a high school teacher and guidance counsellor at the time, felt compelled to go and visit and mentor a young man who had been arrested for the murder of his parents. Over time, this expanded to a number of prisoners as well as drug users and addicts. Researching possible reasons and explanations why these young men landed up in the situations they found themselves in, John was led to an interest in examining the true purpose and meaning of life, which in turn led to the discovery of the universal laws and principles that determine the outcome of our lives.

TTK, with its core value being knowledge and its core objective being transformation, embraces its mission to assist those who seek to bring about change in their lives. This is done through the various free programmes operating in the Honeydew/Randburg area. These programmes include:

• Mentoring of prisoners

• Mentoring of recovering drug addicts

• Assistance with reintegration after recovery and rehabilitation

• Mentoring of individuals and small groups in the areas of personal development and self improvement

• Interactive workshops exploring the universal laws and principles that govern our experience of life

• Community meetings for seekers of truth with round table and small group discussions

• Seminars on topics pertaining to personal development and self improvement

One of the long-term visions of TTK is the establishment of the Transformation Transitional Centre, a holistic residential programme for those coming out of prison, off drugs and off the streets.

TTK is about creating change and transformation through the application of truth, the principles that govern life. John has been a mentor and coach for 10 years, specializing in the area of recovery, as well as personal development.
