"After such a wonderful experience at the EnactusZA National Competition 2019, we are filled with nothing but honor to be part of something that is greater than ourselves. Seeing the impact that students can bring into people's lives is breathtaking. I am proud of the wonderful work that my team put in throughout this term to change lives. Placing 2nd out of the 16 teams that participated is evidence of the level of dedication that the team has in bringing change.
May we all continue inspiring change in all our communities around South Africa. May we all know and understand that if positive entrepreneurial impact continues.
In times of trial I am reminded to continue serving by6 this quote by Eleanor Brown: “Rest and self-care are so important. When you take time to replenish your spirit, it allows you to serve others from the overflow. You cannot serve from an empty vessel." "
