Connectivity problems have kept us from uploading workshop photos from May-June 2013, but fortunately the feedback compilation came through.  Lead Facilitator Mirelle Matiwaza of EDCA and her assistants – Thulani Matiwaza, Khayalihle Moyo, Lennox Masukume – did a great job, according to the secondary school learners who participated!

Here are some of their comments:

Sichelesile N M Mpofu:  “Thank you – thank you for giving us such a wonderful experience. You have put one of the first stones in the future we are building. To be honest I never really knew who I wanted to be until this workshop. You have helped us unleash our potential to keep chasing the target of excellence. At the end of the day we are better individuals, citizens and making the world be a better place – like you taught us “a candle foes not lose anything by lighting another candle” we will surely pass on the knowledge. God bless!!”

Thandeka Mpofu:  “Thank you so much for such an experience with Mirelle Matiwaza and Thulani Matiwaza and to LUT club. I now have a mission, vision and an action plan. Through envisioning my future, I realised many areas of improvement. I am making my life and Taking Charge of my Life!”

Kelvin Bembe: “I thank the founders and facilitators for such a workshop. The workshop made me realise how to plan out my future. Plan for your future, vision, mission statement, values, stakeholders!”

Tryphine T Ncube: “Thank you very much for giving us a direction in life and teaching us that we have the potential to change not only our lives but the world also. Thank you for boosting my confidence.”

Arnold Moyo: “I would like to thank the developers for this opportunity. It has inspired me and has helped me live up to my potential. It has made me realise that I can turn nothing into something and that something into somethings which I give back or share with others. It would be an honor to work with others doing this project – I wish to be a potential lead facilitator.”

Mlanduli Melusi Ncube:  “The program made me understand where I am suppose to go in life. I am a sharper iron and am now in a better position to face life and its challenges. Thanks to J2Ex!”

Grace Nleya: “In order to have a prosperous future you must have a vision and a mission, a goal and a strategic plan. Its never too late to make the right choices and decisions.”
