We are glad to report that last year was a landmark year because one of our teenagers, Munezero Jackyline, completed her two year tailoring course and is now in the process of getting self-employed. We met her as a school drop out without any hope of a better life. Now her transformation is undeniable. She is happy, more outgoing, and is making meaning of her life with the skills and exposure she has acquired. More of her story will be coming up soon.
Below pictured is another transformation story in the making. Geoffrey Nizeyimana started school quite late and somehow failed to fit in with the much younger class mates in primary school. This led to low morale and a general loss of interest in studying. However, after much patience and counselling, together with consultations with his mother and family, we discovered that he was interested in acquiring vocational skills. We have now put him in a vocational training institution and we are amazed at the change of attitude towards studying. His attendance is regular unlike in the past. He is studying carpentry, which was the course of his choice. In the pic, he is captured doing some practicals.
Many thanks to his new found sponsor and to all that are sacrificing your resources to create these transformation stories.
