Changing
lives while making a HUGE difference

o other people when someone is
giving back to the community it’s like he/she is just wasting their time, why
because people have this different perception that nothing is for free. What I
know is that God blesses the hand that is giving than the receiving hand. On
Monday I got an opportunity to chart with student that I live with at the
accredited outside student accommodation City Warldorf. The importance of
giving back to your community and make a difference.
Amanda Siyengo a phenomenal young
lady shared a very touching story with us, she is a 2nd year N.Dip
in accounting at Soweto Campus, she usually goes to an Orphanage and she spends
most of her time helping the woman responsible for looking after the kids, most
kids from that orphanage are Hiv positive but to her that clearly makes no
difference because of how much she cares for them and take those kids like her
younger sisters and brothers.One day when she was busy bathing this
innocent little girl, the girl started crying and Amanda asked her what was
wrong and the poor girl replied that I sometimes miss my mother and when I want
to talk about her no one wants to listen, the caring 2nd year
student who is only 20years promised to get professional help for all those
kids who wanted to talk to social workers and share their emotional part
because their one on one conversations were too emotional for her to handle as
she was also young.
Amanda choose
to make a difference in her community because the orphanage now has
professional Social workers who come and check how the kids are doing and
motivate the older ones to dream big and aim for the moon. She made a
difference to other peoples life if she can so can us.
