THE EXPERIENCE SO FAR AT SOMERSET EAST EC SITE SINCE THE 17TH

It is always nice to visit other sites and I had a chance to come here at Somerset with other 4 Youthzone leaders, lindokhutlhe from Dre koopies, Cyril from Daveyton, Tseko from Vaal and Dino from PTA and our mentor Doc Mabila and his wonderful wife Hlubi lindelwa. All is been well with the experience we getting collectively and individually. The Site Somerset is a very nice place or rather unique community with different people of different diversity. It is small township surounded by a beautiful mountain called Nojoli and the community is too small that almost everyone knows each other. The place have is consist of Coloureds, Afrikaneers and the Xhosa people and all the races are separated. Somerset has only one street town which I identified a gap for business opportunity as the spar is the only monopoly there which is a good experience for me that people are surviving without fancy things and they keep going even if they lack some vital things which is a lesson to me that some other thing you can live without they do not have to disadvantage you to live the real life you want to live. The people here are not materialist compared to the site I come from which is a lesson from me and in order to reflect that to my community. The only thing that they love doing and according to my perspective destroys them more is the alcohol consuming and the violance here that one person and only can bring that to an End in terms of bringing hope to the community because I asked most people here that why they consume so much alcohol and fight with their fellow people and the answer was we lack entertainment in order to avoid that which is their opinions but only after I saw that the place is nice and have many sports fields and an artificial ground and that's too much entertainment there in order to paticipate in playing one of the sport daily for to avoid consuming alcohol so the people who should be the examples are the one who ruin the place which is bad but our presence here in Somerset turned things around in terms of positiveness and hope because we led by example in terms of advising some that its not a bad thing to drink alcohol only if you do that responsibly and to spend more time participating in sports in order to avoid all the bad things that happens daily in their lives. I loved the place and enjoying learning and experiencing the new atmosphere and the life other people lives. People here are very skilled and talented that they lack exposure but I see change in the near future not from someone outside but the one person from this place.

I believe that change and hope is approaching in order to bring the place to a better place and I see it as a place to be visited by many tourist after the change. My hope is still there
