FIFA Fever: Can You Feel It? It is Here!

IkamvaYouth is a non-profit organization based in from Khayelitsha, Nyanga and Masiphumelele in the Western Cape, Ivory Park in Gauteng, the greater Cato Manor area and Molweni in KwaZulu-Natal. IkamvaYouth is a for-youth, by-youth leadership organization that focuses on self-empowerment of its students in grades 9-12. We volunteers are community members who are either international university students or past IkamvaYouth graduates who believe in making a change. We believe that students are the masters of their own futures and successes and only by challenging and supporting each one of them to believe in their own strengths and skills. By doing so, we believe that students will be better equipped with the proper skills for education as well as the job market. We not only focus on educational initiatives but also on social and civic initiatives. Our success is marked by the number of students who graduate from high school and progress to either university or success in the job market.

In the Western Cape, IkamvaYouth is hosting its annual Talent Show & Photography Exhibition in Makhaza.

Fifa Fever: IkamvaYouth’s Talent Show and Photography Exhibition on 3 July

Come feel it! It’s here!

On Saturday 3 July, ikamvanites from the Makhaza, Nyanga and Masiphumelele branches will be expressing themselves, showcasing their talents and having fun, following weeks of intensive hard work at their respective winter schools.

This year, our theme is FIFA Fever, which focuses on the soccer spirit of the townships and its effect on the learners. We wish to showcase the skills of our learners and our volunteers in many different ways such as poetry, song, dance, and photography. The World Cup has asked each South African: “Can you feel it? It is here!” We at IkamvaYouth have also asked our learners this, but with a twist.

“Can you feel it? It is here!”

Your Success. Take it. It is here, and it is yours to take.

We invite everyone to our Talent Show & Photography Exhibition, and encourage you to attend our event and support and celebrate our learners and volunteers. Photographs taken by our learners will be on display. With a small donation to IkamvaYouth, you will have the opportunity to order a photograph taken by one of our learners. Your support goes directly to the future of IkamvaYouth and its learners. We thank you for your support!

Bring your vuvuzelas and join in the ayoba celebrations at the Desmond Tutu Hall (near the Nazeema Isaacs library, cnr Lansdowne and Cekece Roads in Makhaza, Khayelitsha) from 9am to 1pm.
