 The South African Service Learning Program in Cape Town started in 2005 with the goal of having our young people from Maccadre University to have an insight to global challenges and issues that a lot of people are facing around the world. The Cape Town Refugee Center was founded in 1994. Our organization seeks to serve vulnerable refugees and asylum seekers so we do this by giving them psychosocial assistance. We do this by ensuring a long-term psychological welfare. We also do this by integrating them in the community through our social cohesion program. My organization is Sinalgo. The aim and the goal of it is to keep the children away from street, from the corners and to protect them as well. That's when I came up with the vision of opening up an after school so that I can give them a safer environment. My organization is called Mani Gengi and the main goal is to address the problem of chronic poverty, chronic hunger out there. What it means is that Mani means mother and Gengi means being industrious. So I'm saying let's get out there, let's do something, it starts with ourselves, let's not wait for something or somebody. Tambale to school is a school that caters for learners that are differently abled. They are challenged physically and so they cannot attend a mainstream school. At Tambale to school we are fortunate to have teachers that are very passionate about what they are doing. While our students are studying here in Cape Town they do service learning work with NGOs and schools around the city and they've had a great impact in those organizations that they are working with. They are always very willing, they are always passionate about what they do. So they are carrying forth that tradition in servicing and helping people that's confronted with challenges. I've been very impressed with the level, the quality of work they produce. So firstly our work more than technical is firstly hard work. Hard work in the sense that you need to have the passion for the people you're dealing with and I found that every single market student we've had is passionate about refugee issues, is passionate about development and that comes through you know in the way they learn what we want them to do and the way they execute that. If they've been given a task and that task needs to link into other things the one way to be micro-managed to say do this, do that. The market university students are different from other volunteers because I think it's also their mission and their vision with a Jesuit call to be and to make a difference to people less fortunate. For them being here to me it's something that gives me an energy to work every day to be in this and every day and work with these kids. If they do site work they go to local schools they speak about human rights, refugee rights and they speak about the work that the organization does and particularly they also aim to educate younger children about tolerance and accepting the person who's different from you. They make such a huge difference they bring life to these children they give these children hope they give these children opportunity to develop and become a somebody. But in the minute I join hands with market people with market students that's the time I gain back my confidence I gain back my strength and then I said I am not pulling down I am not reversing I'm moving forward I'm doing what I plan to do what I wanted to do for quite some time so for them being with me honestly they've made me what I am today.
