There’s nothing – and I mean nothing - more uplifting and vindicating than hearing from our Net Buddy alums as they stride ahead with their lives after school. Katlego (2014-18) took the time to send a beautiful message to let us know how valuable her weekly Video Conferences (VCs) were in preparing her for university life. She studied for a Bachelor of Social Science at North Western University and says that, while she knew what to expect – thanks to her Video Mentors - she watched her peers grapple with social anxiety, peer pressure, fear of failure, and lack of career direction. Forewarned is forearmed!
I just wanted to let you know how the program has been useful in my life. I got a match with my second mentor, Elinor, in 2016 and she’s been an amazing, supporting structure in my life ever since! Even to this day we are still in contact. She's so helpful, supportive, and caring. She's so amazing, I don't wanna lie!
If it wasn't for you guys I wouldn't have met this wonderful soul. Thanks once again, I am so blessed to have had the opportunity.
Katlego is now completing a post-graduate Honours Degree in Demography & Population Studies at the prestigious University of Witwatersrand. You can hear even more of her story at the link here or below to the recording from our recent Infinite FAMILY MEETING.
If you missed the opportunity to join one of our update sessions, why not grab yourself a coffee, find a comfy chair, and catch up on what’s been happening at Infinite Family and what we’ve got in store. You’ll get to meet some of our key people and find out what we’ll be doing – with your help – to impact the lives of more teens, so no one gets left behind.
