Mbongeni Sibanda, 16, Redhill School Mbongeni is part of Public Relations on the Interact Board, Vice-President of Student Representative Council, and a Youth Voices Conference Ambassador. His favourite hobbies are playing sport (particularly hockey, swimming and soccer), cutting-edge tech, and interacting with people. He really values learning from different experiences. He has always done volunteering work, because it was mandatory for students at his school, but a year or two ago, the real value of volunteering was made clear to him: Volunteering opens your eyes and makes you truly aware of what is around you (good and bad). His personal life goal is to be someone that influences people to go the extra mile and step out from the crowd. “I cannot even begin to explain my excitement about being a School SleepOut Ambassador. I have a platform on which I can voice ideas to my generation with the hope to influence a completely new kind of mind-set that will encourage people to be more compassionate towards each other,” he says. Siyanda Somtsewu, 16, Sea Point High School Siyanda was born in Cape Town, and his father died when he was eight years old, so he was raised by a single mother in a township called Langa, along with his little sister. He does debate and cricket, and loves them both. He also volunteers in his community. For example, he collected sanitary pads for girls in a local school. His hobbies include music, playing chess, going to church, watching global events and using the computer. His goal is to become an economist, but short term it’s to pass matric well. He also wants to give Casio calculators to pure maths students in township schools, so they can do better. “I’m excited to meet people with the same views as mine but different ways of doing things,” he says. Tebogo Mokhari, 17, Northern Academy College Tebogo is Head Girl at her school and is an academic student, who says she is “terrible at sports”. In school, she looks after the student body and tries to help resolve any complaints that they might have. Her first experience in volunteering started when she had to help her mother gather donations for an orphanage. She fell in love with volunteering at children homes, especially Ngwana Huis. She has always wanted to open an orphanage. She loves working with children and reading, and her goal in life is to make a success out of herself and to travel. “Being an Ambassador is knowing that you are using your advantages to change the life of someone else,” she says. 60
Trevor Shakwane, 17, Lowveld High School Trevor is from Matsulu, a small village about 40km away from Nelspruit. He obtained an academic bursary to study at Lowveld High School. He participates in cultural activities like debating, public speaking and the spelling bee. He also plays rugby and tennis. He loves playing the piano and hopes to obtain seven distinctions for his National Senior Certificate, with an average above 85%, and Gold for The President’s Award. “I’m very excited to be an Ambassador as it is an opportunity for me to express my viewpoint of the world, and brainstorm solutions to the political, social and economic challenges that we are currently facing in South Africa,” he says. Xiluva Ndimande, 17, HTS Langlaagte Xiluva is part of the Representative Council of Learners’ Committee. She speaks four languages and lives in Noordgesig in Soweto. She is a youth leader and a Sunday school teacher at her church and always makes time to volunteer. Her goals include studying hard, passing matric with distinctions, making her mom and family proud, getting a bursary, studying Medicine at a university, and becoming a doctor. She loves reading books, baking, spending time with family and friends and watching TV. “I am excited to be an Ambassador because I am willing to learn, listen, grow, be inspired and share the love and benefits of volunteering and helping others,” she says.
