Youth Empowerment Workshop

   A two day workshop was held at Sua Community Junior Secondary School, all of the Natavillage youth were welcome to join as well as anyone from the community who also wanted to attend. Some of the topics they discussed included: business awarness and opportunities, youth grants, why is HIV/AIDS prevailing in Botswana. Love, relationships, dating, (which to me should be all put together in one topic) marriage and family, youth and politics, and crime commited by youngsters. The coordinators and speakers did a good job on informing them on those topics. Overall the workshop was extremely successful and the turn out of the primary attenders (the young adults) was amazing.

Compelling to solutions that pull people into doing something they really want to do, rather than pushing them into doing something they don’t want to do.
