From learner to staff member

I joined IkamvaYouth in 2004 while I was doing my grade 11. In 2005 I was doing my matric. In 2006 I started to volunteer in the organisation while I was doing my first year at the University of the Western Cape.  Since then I have been an active member in the organisation.  In 2011 I started to work for the organisation. I am the first former learner to actually work for the organisation.  I’m real happy to work for the organisation. Giving back to my community is very important to me. Never thought one I would work for this organisation. This also brought a change in my life. I studied Bcom Information systems now I am working as an administrator. While I was studying, I was hoping to work for private companies and never thought I would be working for NGO, but I am happy and satisfied to work for IkamvaYouth.  Then I realised that you can study for certain field and working in different field and be satisfied.

Thank You
