Voices of Hope - from Our Students

WDGA has changed me a lot, made me have hope in achieving my dreams. It is a blessing to me because I never even dreamt that something like this will ever come to pass.

I would like to be a computer scientist...I have come to realize my passion for the rapidly growing technology and I would like to be a part of it. WDGA means hope to me as I will be able to fly to greater heights toward my destiny…

I would like to be a cardiac surgeon to help the society since heart disease is common and improve the difficult situations being faced by the community. I will reach my dream through working hard, having courage... getting encouragement from WDGA…

WDGA has been of great benefit to me. First it taught me integrity through the different facilitators. The training has helped me to take life from another perception than the one I had. The 2STEPS2WORK program has also helped me to value peace and integrity as the core values and foundations of anything we pursue in life. Job shadows conducted in Nakuru and Nairobi have expanded my way of thinking, given me experience, helped me know the different working environments and meet a lot of people.

As a youth leader, I am honored to be part of the change in Kenya. WDGA has been a stepping stone for our lives. It has changed and enriched us with ideas that will remain a history in our minds. The leaders have already been making a difference in their community and have embraced this responsibility wholeheartedly. Thousands of seeds were donated in order to plant more peace trees. The students came up with the idea to “go green” and hand out the seedlings in exchange for shoes or clothing to those in the communities of Nakuru and Rift Valley area who are less fortunate than they are.

I like to operate with numbers and I do my best to get the skills of being a good accountant. It motivates me to be responsible and organized. WDGA means to me my “destiny.” It has made me see my future in a greater perspective.

It will help me reach my destiny. May God bless this organization to spread throughout Africa and the world.

I would like to be an engineer...because I have been dreaming about it for a long time. WDGA is a project that has the ability to work with person of different economics and backgrounds. I will reach my dreams by working hard in my education.

I would like to thank you very much for everything that you are doing to empower us. The experience as a youth leader has been very informative as well as inspiring to me. I am highly privileged to be one of the dynamic dozen for Kenya and also proud to be a youth leader in WDGA. Thank you again for the internship opportunities that you are getting for the dynamic dozen. It is a humbling move by WDGA to give us experience and exposure to the work environment. I view it as a very worthwhile course for us - the youth council members. Thank you very much WDGA for your efforts towards bettering our future by leading us to our destiny. It is my prayer that God will assist you to achieve your objectives and bless you for your genuine concern for us.
