Changing lives while making a HUGE difference

T

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 2^nd 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 2^nd 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.
