My Youth Club Experience:

I learnt about my skills and how I can use them. I now know my skills and passions and how to help people get clothes online.

When choosing a skill, one must choose a skill that will make you money, so that you can get paid and earn more money. This way you will be able to feed your family and go to school and be able to pay your school fees. Skills are very important.

In Life skills, we discussed the problems in our communities and we gave solutions to those problems. We also discussed what the government and councillors do about these problems. I learned that we as a community should work together, respect each other and take care of each other.

My Youth Club Experience:

Greetings to you all, I go by the name of Bongekile Tsotesti, I am female and I am in grade 10. This is my impact story from Imbokodo.

Listening to other people makes them feel good and it improves their self-esteem. We all know that everyone has the right to freedom of expression and speech therefore, affection is greater than perfection.

In trying to help other people, understanding their background is very important, that way you will not judge that person. It is also very important to stand out from everyone else and be yourself.

It is also good to listen to other people’s opinions because you might learn a few things from them.

My Youth Club Experience:

I have learned at the Youth Club that it is important to listen to what a person is saying, because it is not easy for a person to go to someone and tell them about their life. These days it is very difficult to trust a friend, even people you are related to.

I have learned that the best kind of friend, is a friend who listens without saying a word and without judging, because a person walks away from that conversation feeling that that was the best conversation they ever had.

They say that it is better to trust a rock than a person, because you can tell a rock your secrets, and you will still find it in the same place the next day. In my opinion, I feel that I am a trustworthy person.
