Mirror Mirror: I see change

Mentor Katlego Thiskare and junior Dreamers. 

And  will do it with all in me…..

 Now that I’m going to do the recruitment of 12 learners from schools that will for part of my new youth development project Dreamers.kom, it’s not just a nerve wrecking thought but also a moving one for me. I am left with one question, who is privileged or underprivileged enough to be part of this? The simple answer…all is? The sad reality is that can’t help the whole soccer team but I have realised that I am taking my time, talent and passion solely to detox our depressed and socially challenged youth. I realised that all my efforts are priceless and it grants immense gratitude.

It’s a pity that we live in a society where nothing is for free. People today do any for appraisal, a big pay check or reaping the ripple effect of benefiting in the future. How can we as a country still want to see change f all we have to do for change requires an injection in our pockets? So many gifted people are strangers to using what they can to help and cultivate. How many people have had the most inspiring conversation with someone at a club 5 seconds away from round 6? How many regard someone as a role model and the harmonious moment of meeting the person s so awkward and sour thanks to their arrogance and conceit? Most people where I am from still regard the ownership of a car and jiggling the decedent drink  as successful, that I don’t dispute(seeing that freedom of speech has no door) but if that the case why can’t these men then take their time and guide our young lions? What would the future of Upington look like if all we have is the latest relevant sounding Facebook status, the coolest Instagram pic or the hippest Keek Video update?

Privileged to say, I have got what to takes: and all that is time, that of mine. And I therefor decided to start this baby I call Dreamers.kom. This is a group consisting great 11 pupils that are mentored and assisted in their academics. We as the mentors serve as vehicles of information, guide them in the buzzed social life of Upington, groom them and find ways to assist them in the development of their talents still ensuring that academics are priority and hopes also instilled!! I thanked King Jesus to back me up in this. I will be using my beautiful mini palace as I’m turning it into a haven for these dreamers.

An award I don’t need! Recognition I don’t pray for, my prayer s: Father let all be paid forward and capacitate us to groom great leaders and healthy mothers.

Never forget that life is only over when you don’t see this beautiful smile of yours!!!

Never never never give up!!!
