our global citizenship class 2015 |
My Illusion came to reality when i received an email confirming that my application has been excepted to be part of the global citizens who will attend the global citizenship course in Kenya. Although our resources were limited i remember one day when we had nothing to conduct our First human rights Soccer tournament our inspirator Ayanda Sibindi looked at all of us and said "i know that we are in a difficult stage but i believe that where there is a will the is a way, so lets use our creativity to find one" these word made the tournament and it led us to do more and more activities with little or no resources. His inspiration was fuel to me as an individual and our activista group , he never believed in failure but temporary delay so he always told us. He used to step on top of the desk during our trainings and say " GREAT RISKS COME WITH GREAT REWARDS so ladies and gentlemen dont be afraid of doing things. do things and gain experience then reflect and learn from your experience, NO ONE WAS BORN WITH CONFIDENCE. tiyeni kundazi achinyamata," he will smile and every men in the room will participate in whatever we are doing in a serious constructive fun way
These inspirational words carried me from Rural Areas of Malawi to Nairobi Kenya with little or no fear but with confidence to gain exposure and new experience. we are only two from Sourthen Africa but i put my head up to proudly represent my community country with dignity. I am however proud of who i am and see the importance of equality despite our backgrounds, nationalities and race. I rub my hands in Glee and i have acquitted my vision into new horizons, by this trip i will never be the same so will my community back home.
