On 15 June, we held another successful Voices of Courage Campaign event at New Life, Tyger Valley Shopping Mall, marking the second event of our partnership to celebrate youth throughout the month of June.
MOT South Africa’s partnership with Tyger Valley Shopping Centre has provided a month-long celebration of youth empowerment. The Voices of Courage campaign includes inspiring talks, fun activities, and motivational performances to encourage young people to find and use their voices.
Victor Pike, Community Builder, and Mentor started his talk by encouraging everyone to take courage and be responsible in their fight against negativity and challenges. He emphasized that what truly matters is what’s in your heart. Here are some key points from Victor’s speech:
Victor concluded by highlighting the importance of maintaining respect and values, which he feels society has lost. His advice to the youth is to believe in themselves and seek out positive influences, no matter where they come from.
MOT Ambassador, Sharief Hendricks, Senior Lecturer at UCT and Professor at Leeds Beckett University (UK), shared his personal journey, emphasizing the two things that kept him on the right path: sport, specifically rugby, and education. He urged everyone to appreciate what they have and to strive for continuous improvement. Key takeaways from Sharief’s talk include:
Sharief’s message was clear: we must be mindful of what we consume and engage in activities that help us grow. By realizing that we are not defined by our negative thoughts, we can work towards becoming better individuals.
This MOTivating event was made possible through the amazing partnership and campaign, Voices of Courage, in partnership with Tyger Valley Mall. Their support has allowed for these important conversations and motivational talks to take place, inspiring many to take positive steps in their lives.
In conclusion, the words of Victor Pike and Sharief Hendricks remind us that courage, self-belief, and mindful actions are key to achieving our goals and living a fulfilling life. Let’s take their advice to heart and strive to make positive changes every day.
