As school leavers we have to know what opportunities are out there for us, therefore we need to utilize people around us as well as resources at our disposal.

For example, Youthzones supply laptops with modems (with data bundles) to the teams we work with and we make sure that the team makes that resource available for the whole community. Why not use that to your benefit or benefit of others.

Drakensberg Hike reflection (Poem)

He looks at us in rage, then asks?

"Bloody Urbaners, city dwellers what do they want?"

Then looks up and cries "mama why?"

The Embassy presented the team with a framed picture of the kids in action with two of the playing showing…

Tug of war, Diketo, Skipping rope, Soccer, Netball and some local dancing skills were some of the activities taking place at Refalotse primary in Wintervield.

Great day it was but we ended it up beautifully with a good Netball session with Sunshine Netball where for the first time, I, Ayanda played netball with the girls. Simon and Thabiso joined me…

After weeks even months of trying to motivate the boys from Orange Farm to play soccer since the previous coach had passed away. I approached and offered my non-existing soccer skill to start a team, I was welcome with a whooping "who are you?" attitude up until Youthzones and the Gauteng Department of Education hosted a Tournament in Deipsloot.

The Glazing Orion Netball team joined the tournament and came back with trophies and some other goodies.On hearing this the boys now…
