For the past 2 months that I have been in SA, I board a taxi almost everyday to and from work and I have noted with a bit of apprehension that contrary to what happens back in Zim, where people easily interact in the taxi, here the mood therein resembles that of people accompanying a corpse to it's final resting place!!! It's so tense regardless it's Monday or Friday!!! Honestly, to me it could be a blessing in disguise as I am yet to absorb the "XELI CHANGE", SANBONANI and other Zulu/Xhosa…

we are facing with difficulties in Orange Farm as we try to keep this youth away from streets and drugs abuse. we have lack of resources of sports in our community and other activities programs and our municipally is not helping us to keep this kids away from streets and fight the use of drugs by the youth

The internet plays a big role in the lives of adult and teenagers alike. The important of the internet in a teenagers life increases with every day that goes by. If i had to build the perfect internet school, i would start by letting kids have a lot  of hands of hands-on activity.instead of having the teacher doing stuff on the computer.

We had a wonderful time with the guys from Pretoria. We feel honoured and fortunate to have such a visit. It was sort of inspirable and fun at the same time. Thank Doc, Alek, Rudolph, Schalk and Youth Zones as an organization   

Thanks to fssa group for your support to the poor and needy , yes we take time to see but your patience to us one day will be rewarded, even the blind will see as long as you dont loose hope ,focus and dedication , for no price but for the love of your people one day your work will be rewarded.The presence of Simon Blangwe in our site revived the lost spirit to the youth that I am working with.

Gentle, yet strong, but mostly I found an organization with respect towards families in the community that need help.

In 2011 I was playing U/15 and now im 18year old playing for Riet-vlei Liverpool fc senior and I still remember Doc and the other white friend called Schalk our coach he use to tell us about them and youthzones, they use to come to our coaches house and train with our senior team then after they were doing the something that we doing now with my coach Simon and when I ask him about them said he works with them, so I learned that from youthzones never expect the some people who they were…

The youth from privileged suburbs in Pretoria visited their friends in the disadvantaged Tubatse village in Steelpoort. The kids interacted and shared contact and they were just like brothers and sisters.

I feel like sharing what I have in my mind. peer pressure is not something that's just started now but peer pressure started long before we were even born. peer pressure has had a negative impact in our society and communities, where we find young people who had big potential turning to something they were not meant to be.

It is possible that we can change the youth of today and give our people hope through sports. it is possible that we can empower youth and create a safe environment…

I believe that God has put gifts and

talents and ability on the inside of

every one of us. When you develop

that and you believe in yourself and

you believe that you're a person of

influence and a person of purpose, I believe you can rise up out of any

situation.

God has already done everything The ball is now in your…

They may lose hope in you, but you yourself never ever lose hope in yourself. In life things happen for a reason, either bad or good but they all happen for a reason, as another poet said and I quote " when people walk away from you let them walk, and it doesn't mean that they are bad people, but it just mean that their part in your story is over". People tend to lose hope on others and look down on them for what ever reason they have,but you should know where you stand, for it is about time…

IF WE SHOULD LOVE ONE ANOTHER

THE WORLD WOULD BE THE BETTER PLACE…
