Some New Year Thoughts from ThembaTraining
2011 is my third year as a ThembaTraining staff member. I am now reminded of the words of Dr John C. Maxwell, when he says that, if you’ve been in team for three years, every problem is your problem! Looking back to the past 3 years, I have trained and mentored over 800 Bread winners. When I walk the streets of Crossroads I see some of them not doing well all-round. That saddens me, yet at the same time that poses an opportunity to revisit and change the way we do things. However, I also see some others working hard establishing their businesses. This gives me joy and love for what I do.

ThembaTraining has given so many people a chance to change and improve their lives and that must be celebrated. I am totally grateful for the chance to make a difference in the lives of OUR PEOPLE in OUR COMMUNITIES by fighting poverty. It has enriched me enabling me to grow so much in my facilitating, leadership, business skills and the way I view life. It’s those little moments that make a difference: Whether it was a trainee who gets a certificate for the first time or one who fulfilled a dream of owning a Spaza Shop, or the volunteers who come from across the globe. All add valuable memories to my life that I will never forget.
2011 brings yet more potential: Opportunities to train and mentor more bread winners and to take those we have trained to the next level of growth. All this won’t be possible without our dedicated team of trainers and mentors, and the support we get from all over the world. Thank you!!!
