Radical Gap Year

Its time

ABOUT RADICAL GAPYEAR
Grow deep so you can fly high.

Radical Gapyear is a 10-month residential gap year hosted at Fountain of Blessings, created for young adults (18–21) who are standing at a crossroads between school and adulthood.

This program exists because not every young person is ready to rush into university, and not every parent wants to see their child lose direction, discipline, or confidence while “figuring things out.”

Radical Gapyear is not a year off.
It is a year of intentional preparation.

WHY RADICAL GAPYEAR?

Many young adults today feel overwhelmed by choices and pressure. They are not lazy — they are uncertain. When this season is left unmanaged, it often leads to poor decisions, wasted money, or a loss of momentum.

Radical Gapyear was designed to bridge the gap between school and adult life by providing:

Structure

Mentorship

Life skills

Spiritual grounding

Real responsibility

All within a safe, nurturing, rural environment.

OUR VISION

To help young men and women bridge the gap between school and adulthood by becoming deeply rooted in identity, faith, and life skills, so they can grow through life’s challenges and confidently step into their future.

OUR MISSION

Radical Gapyear exists to guide young adults to discover their God-given purpose, develop discipline and responsibility, and gain practical life skills through structured mentorship, spiritual formation, and real-life training.

We prepare young people not just for a career — but for life.

ABOUT THE FOUNDER

Radical Gapyear is founded by Gerda le Roux, a businesswoman, mentor, educator, and ministry leader with over 30 years of experience in economics, banking, business development, education, and community leadership.

Radical Gapyear is the fulfilment of a vision she has carried for more than a decade — to create a gap year that forms character, builds discipline, and helps young people discover their purpose in a real and practical way.

You can delegate action, but you cannot delegate responsibility.

“Responsibility” refers to the ultimate owner of a project, task, or course of action. The responsible party has to answer for the end result, good or bad.

Even though the leader may be far removed from the day-to-day activities, he or she is in charge of the entire process and needs to be accountable for the results.

What are the elements of delegation of responsibility?

EET JOUSELF GESOND
Die somer groente en vrugtetuin se palet van anti-oksidante en vitamiene wat aan ons gratis verleen word, is van ‘n ander wêreld. Net soveel kleure spel daar is, net soveel genesende elemente is daar in jou somer groente en vrugte. Hoe kan jy dit gebruik om jou liggaam en siel mee te verryk?

Dit is die minerale en anti-oksidante in jou groente wat daardie genesende elemente aan jou verskaf. Selfs vir jou geestelike gesondheid is daar belangrike vitamiene opgesluit in jou kosse.

Die enigste vraag is net of ons kosse wel hierdie elemente bevat, want ‘n plant kan alleenlik hierdie genesing verbou wanneer die plant gesond kan groei en die minerale uit die grond kan opneem via mineralisasie. Vitamiene word in die plant gevorm wanneer die plant lipiede vervaardig en dit geskiet alleenlik deur die aerobiese groeiproses van mineralisasie. As hierdie proses nie plaasvind nie, kan jou plant nie genesende elemente bevat nie.

Hoe weet jy of die groente in jou tuin wel gesond is en aan jou vitamiene, minerale en anti-oksidante verskaf?

Volgens Wikipedia moet jou spinasie die volgende aan jou bied:
Vitamien A, C, B9, B6, E, en K1
Kalsium, magnesium en yster
Die anti-oksidante soos Lutein, Quercetin, Kaempherol en Zeaxanthin

Bevat jou spinasie wel hierdie genesende middele of eet jy dalk net ‘n bord vol suikers, koolhidrate en proteïene weens die ongesonde grond waarop die groente groei.

Om vitamienes te kan vorm, moet jou spinasie die minerale kan opneem via mineralisasie en daarvoor het ons die volledige grond organisme sisteem in die grond nodig. Mineralisasie vind alleenlik plaas wanneer die minerale deur die predatore in die grond afgebreek is en aan die plant besorg is in die vorm van fulviese sure. Sonder die volledige grondvoedsel netwerk in jou grond teenwoordig, kan hierdie proses nie plaasvind nie.

Ons is geleer dat ons kunsmis moet toedien op die grond sodat die plant kan groei. Maar eintlik is dit die verkeerde metode as jy genesende kosse wil verbou, want dan kan mineralisasie nie plaasvind nie.

Om oksidante te kan vervaardig, het die plant nodig om metaboliete te produseer. Groente wat dit produseer het, kan geensins aangeval word deur insekte peste of swam siektes nie. En dit is dan ook ons teken of die groente wat ons eet wel genesende elemente bevat.

As die kewer nog eet aan jou spinasie, beteken dit die spinasie het nie metaboliete vervaardig nie. Dus eet jy nie anti-oksidante nie. As die spinasie meeldou ontwikkel het, het die plant nie lipiede vervaardig nie en eet jy glad nie vitamiene en minerale nie. As die luise of witvlieg hulself tuisgemaak het op jou spinasie, eet jy net suikers.

Hoe kan ons dus ons eie kos verbou en weet dat ons daagliks genesende kosse inneem?
Ons het ‘n 10-module kursus vir jou saamgestel wat jou al die tegnieke leer hoe om genesende kosse te plant. Dit kan gevolg word op zoom en daar kan jy ook jou vrae stel, of dit kan gevolg word via e-boeke wat jy op jou rekenaar kan aflaai. Ons deel daarin met jou al ons geheimpies, tegnieke en uitvindsels soos geleer deur jare se probeer en studeer en grond ontledings.

Verdien ‘n inomste uit jou eie voortuin deur vir jou bure en familie hierdie groente te plant en dan verskaf jy weekliks hierdie geurige kleurespel van genesende voeding aan jou naastes.
