My first day at Sizanani, I was so scared, and I did not know what to do. When I came there, we sang songs and I started being happy. We also played games and we were then separated and we were put into different age groups.

Sizanani helped me with things I didn’t know and now I know many things. I learned something and Sizanani is the best in my life and now my life is good. There are many Vochellis at Faranani, but the only Vochelli’s name I know is Vochelli Kamo.

THANK YOU FOR TEACHING US.

I like Sizanani because they teach us many things that we don’t understand like languages and life skills. Sometimes we play games and they teach us that we must not drink alcohol and that we must not have babies at a young age and that we must not smoke drugs because we will get sick. They also taught us about our rights and that we have the right to respect our teachers, our parents and everyone.

Camp Sizanani has developed my mindset in such a way that I now know how to live/survive in the real world. The camp has taught me how to prevent myself from being infected with STI’s such as HIV/AIDS and HPV. Sizanani has brought the seriousness of the real world to my attention. It also taught about e-wallet, sexuality, substance abuse and sharing.

Sizanani has brought many opportunities in my life. It also teaches you to respect about how to honour the donors from USA and Vochellis. It is such an honour to be known by this organisation.

Sizanani helps me a lot, it teaches how you should do things better and never do things in a bad way and I learned a lot from the Vochellie, how they treat one another. Now I have some things to do with the Vochellis, we learn about not disrespecting an adult or people smaller than me and they do not give us bad advice, they talk from the heart and they are very helpful and they change me into a good girl. They made me look forward with my life, and they do things knowing that they are very helpful or very kind.

Thank you for everything you have done for us.

Camp Sizanani has helped me a lot and taught me about self-confidence, healthy and unhealthy relationships and risks, what we can do to avoid dagga, alcohol, respect our parents, and our Rights and Responsibilities.

I went to the camp and the Vochellis from camp taught us how to use a condom and don’t have unprotected sex, how to avoid getting HIV/AIDS and STI’s and they explained what HIV means.

There is something important that I don’t want to forget, I went to Camp and I did not even know how to swim, I ate healthy food and did activities like theatre and yoga and it was my first time doing yoga.

Sizanani helped me a lot because I learn something from the Vochellis. Now I have a hobby I have something that I look forward to in the morning. They also help us by giving food to us, other children come here with empty stomachs, so you help us with food. The Vochellis understand us very much and we can talk to them knowing that they understand your situation. Thank you for helping us Sizanani, please keep up your good foundation.

Camp Sizanani has broadened my intellect in a way that I have skills or qualities that will help me tackle all my life problems. Without the information Camp Sizanani has offered, I wouldn’t have known about equality, sexuality, sex, substance abuse, abuse etc. to name a few.

Camp Sizanani will be a source of great children and people in the future. Camp Sizanani has taught me how to express myself freely towards my Vochellis. I would like to express my gratitude towards the sponsors of Sizanani hence it has helped us a lot and the Vochellis

LONG LIVE SIZANANI!!!!!

Camp Sizanani has helped me in a lot of things like education, good behaviour, abuse, relationships, life skills. It has helped me to be the person I am, I have even Improved my learning and even my Life Skills.

They even teach us the way of living including, respect, rights and responsibilities, to not drink alcohol at a young age and even smoking. To not have unprotected sex at a young age. And avoid getting HIV and STI’s. Healthy and unhealthy relationships and risks. And, not let a person take control of us and our bodies. I really love being in the Camp Sizanani Club.
