Today my dream is within full grasp

The training changed my perspective about the world. Now I see everything like a film or documentary waiting to be discovered. I’ve learned to always ask advice. I’m currently unemployed but looking from online courses to gain more knowledge. Every dream has its time and sometime we tell our hearts what to dream, but then a programme like this comes along.

Today my dream is within full grasp

I was so unsure of where my life was going before the iKasi Skills course. Today, I know that my story matters and that I am worthy of a shot at life. My advice: if you apply, know that your life, mindset and goals will most likely change or shift. When I joined, it was in hopes that I could pursue my dream of writing stories and assist the youth within our communities. Today, that goal is within full grasp.
