what I learned today

Submitted by Rato on Sat, 09/05/2009 - 16:53
Today i met new ladies from WITS. They are Lerato , Keran & Masasa We played new games and i enjoy them a lot. i learned about a game called 'fruit salad'. I was about being able to know your group member from the same type of fruit. It was about belonging. I learned that I, lerato am a queen too! i have learned that a queen is not only about marying a king or being a chief 's wife or like a baeuty cotestant. i am also a queen because to be one you need the following things 1. you need to respect others, whether a person is young or old to you

Hi today i am going to talk about what i saw. i met with ladies who came to visit us. other girls in the group were talking about things they like and we were all dancing and singing! i danced a lot today and sang as well. i especially enjoyed drawing and playing games. A queen for me is someone who gets married with a king and also a queen is someone who is a model, a person who is a nice person on the inside and outside because she has love and respect.

games, games!

Today I've learned a lot of games. I enjoyed playing games that I had not played in a long time. We were also visited by new people. We met sister Masasa sister Lerato and sister Karen. Masasa taught us a game called 'do like i do'. It was so fun and i liked copying other girls' dancing. Karen taught us a game called 'action' and it is also like 'do like i do' but we made funny actions and some made difficult actions to copy. IF YOU ARE A BEAUTY QUEEN

It was nice to be with Karen, Masasa & Lerato they know how to teach us. They were teaching us how to dance. We played different games. Some of them i used to play at home and some were my first time. My favourirte game was called chief because you had to guesse who was making others change group behaviour. We leaned about our cultures, we even did the Zulu dance. In one game, I said I like an orange because it brings me healing, and I drew it as my favourite fruit. They gave us candles to share each other's light as we spoke about our day and what we have learned.

voting

SUPRISED THAT MANY YOUNG PEOPLE VOTED! Wow! I felt great after casting my first ever vote as a young South African! The thing that suprised me the most was that a whole lot of young people in my township actually voted! When my friends 7 I went to the voting station we were like "wow! you are here to vote as well?!" to some of our peers. It seem like most young people in my community kept it a secret that they registered to vote as most of us were suprised to see each other at the voting station. I wonder why? because there was nothing to be ashamed of!

Poverty not an Excuse to Abuse

Every morning I go past this specific high profile suburb. At this specific traffic lights, are a blind middle aged man with his teenage daughter, I assume, holding his hands, and they are begging for money. I never give a cent to those who beg, but every morning I'm tempted to roll the window down and just ask this young woman "Why the hell aren't you at school?". Each time want to open that window, a little voice responds to me,"She has no choice".

What can one person do?

Submitted by fungaizim on Thu, 23/04/2009 - 14:13
What can one person do? By Fungai Machirori What can an individual achieve in a life time? The possibilities are almost infinite. But what is possible for one person to achieve in a life time, especially in response to HIV? Often, we hide behind the collective “we” when we discuss issues around HIV and AIDS, speaking as groups and even communities about what “we” will do, and how “we” will respond.

LIVING IN SILENCE

Submitted by lerato nkutha on Fri, 17/04/2009 - 16:53
Silence it's a pollution through the mindset of many women, many of them believe that being silent would solve the challenges that they face behind the walls of their homes.Trying to protect their image and also thinking what would the neighbours say about their situation of being abused.
