Youth empowerment Seminar In Khayelitsha

First Youth Empowerment Seminar! in Khayelitsha
Last month 35 enthusiastic youth participated in the first YES! course to take place in Khayelitsha.

Some of the comments about the course read:

"YES! brings back the unity of different people, cultures, beliefs and religions to form the word UBUNTU… the course gave me the confindence to believe in myself and to believe that I can make anything possible" Asiphe, 14

"I feel like I am closer to my destination now. I have attended many courses and workshops but this course is powerful. You call it YES, I call it a life-changing course."
Sonwabile, 18

"This course has changed a part of me because when I first came here I did not believe in God. And I didn’t have much guts to make new friends… this has all changed."
Ondela 15

"This course was joyful… it was the anti-dote to my unwilling to forgive side. Now I am able to open my heart to strangers… this was like a journey for me." Andisiwe 15

"I loved the whole course. It made me realize so many things about my body and my soul and how it works… The happiness that I found here is perfect. I also learned how to deal with anger" Mongezi 17

"The course was a totally mesmerizing experience that changed my entire life and the way I do things. It was a rebirth for my inside identity and my mind too… for me I don’t think there are any intractable situations.. the course really brings out the best in everyone who is willing to learn" ",1]
