Christa Booysen

Christa has been on staff at Petra Institute since January 2000. She was involved in an administrative capacity for four years. In June 2004, she moved to the De Doorns, Western Cape campus, where she switched over to the Training Department.

Since then she has been operating as one of our Training Facilitators all over Western, Eastern, and Northern Cape. She finished additional studies in Pastoral Counselling and provides counselling at local schools for children who are referred to her because of trauma or who are struggling with behavioural problems.

She coordinates a pilot project with MathMoms in schools where they train volunteer mothers to help children understand the foundations of maths better, whilst also counselling them. They started with one school, but hope to obtain the necessary funding to enable them to expand to the other primary schools in the valley.

Christa is based in the De Doorns, Hex River Valley, Western Cape where she has been assisting with the administrative side of the De Doorns Campus for the past 19 years.

Get in contact with Christa to learn more about our Walking with Wounded Course that is offered annually during April, or if you are interested in getting involved in your local schools to assist children with behavioural problems or mathematics.
