University of Virginia Library - Advancement

Building a Youth Program in Khayelitsha, South Africa

June - August 2018 • Cape Town, Western Cape

What I liked

I loved the freedom we had and our ability to work closely with the community, and that our ideas were generated out of their wishes.

What I wish was different

I wish we could have spent more time getting to know what exactly the youth wanted and spent more time with them.

Advice

Be prepared for the difficulty of it!!! Seeing this kind of poverty is difficult, but ignites something within you.
