April Newsletter: They are making an IMPACT

May 13, 2010 at 6:36 am | Posted in Daily Life | Leave a comment

IMPACT is our student leadership conferences where 20 leaders from 17 different schools come to learn more about how they can impact their schools and communities.

This month, IMPACT was all about these young leaders identifying needs in their schools and making plans to address them.  Needs ranged from litter to chronic hunger and electricity.

These students brainstormed with their teachers and Thrive Africa staff and interns on how THEY can make an impact. It was incredible to see and hear them identify the problems and really BELIEVE that THEY can DO SOMETHING.  As we ask people in the United States to DO SOMETHING about the problems that South Africa faces, we are seeing these Next Generation leaders also taking on the challenge.
