THE POWER OF ONE.

"One person may not radically change the world, but if a million one persons tried to, the world would inevitably be changed radically." -- Kiara

My generation is seen to be 'apathetic' and 'lethargic'.
Can you blame us? No, not really.

However, it is our duty to accept we have been exposed to an apathetic way of life, and then re-define our way of life.

This sounds very cliche, but it is very true--we ARE the future. really. when all the 'adults' aren't here anymore, we have to take over. The Jacob Zumas and Malemas aren't going to be around forever, so whose going to run this country? well, us.
Some people find this a very scary thought to process, because they consider our generation in terms of: the latest drug statistics, teenage pregnancy rates, highest drop-out rates....and list really does go on.

BUT, then there is us.
WE are the youth of change, the youth of prosperity, the youth of sustenance.
WE CARE. we are re-defining the 'apathetic' mindstream of our generation. one-by-one.
we realize we can't change the circumstances of the world, but we can change the world.

we.are.activists.

[today i realized what i want to do when i grow older--i want to be an activist.]

i realize i am one person. but i also realize that the power of one person has the magnitude to
affect a million other people; inevitably changing this world.

"So, to all the sceptics, we've spent a week with the future of South Africa--- and if it's any indication-- we'd like to say that the future looks just fine."
--Kingsley Kipury & Simbarashe Sibanda (enke facilitators)
