TESTIMONIALS

Students

Business education has always seemed very difficult. I had to drop the subject in Form 2. Then came Junior Achievement and now my dream of becoming a business manager has become revived. I am learning a lot about management and business transactions as the Advertising Manager of the JA Company at my school. Not only are my dreams coming true, but I am also utilizing my art talent at this spot. Thanks JA.

The Junior Achievement lessons have helped me to be more open minded and to look at situations from different angles and perspectives. JA wants to bring out the best in people by showing them and instilling confidence in pupils to take up the challenge and enhance talents. We can never know how our future will turn out to be and what we expect to find. As one of the few organisations that still fight for young people, I urge Junior Achievement to continue giving hope and steering us in the right direction

A very exciting feature of the Leadership Programme was the fundraising activity in aid of a children's home. The whole process involved a lot of organizing and team work. It showed me qualities in my classmates that I never knew they had.

This programme has taught me to always have integrity, commitment and a vision. I also learned that leaders are not born with skills but acquire them. I hope that one day I too will be a Junior Achievement Volunteer.

Volunteers

For many years I wanted to give something back to the society without too much strain financially and still get satisfied. JA programmes fit in well for me. I have received more than I expected, learning with the students. Helping the young people view life in a positive way has satisfied me tremendously. Seeing the usual young restless people wait eagerly to get more, urges me to continue with the programme.

Empowering the young leaders with listening skills and seeing it work gives me a lot of joy because I can see wonderful understanding leaders of tomorrow. In this programme you give and receive.

I have been a volunteer with Junior achievement for nine months and while I expected the giving to be one sided-me to them, I have been surprised to experience a balanced situation where I am gaining even more than I am giving. Junior Achievement classes are just the right forums for me to naturally work on my communication and presentation skills while helping to shape the future of our youth. It gives me great satisfaction to be useful, helpful and giving without attaching a direct monetary gain. Junior Achievement is affordable; all I need is time and commitment and I can afford both. If you are out there thinking whether or not to volunteer, you are missing the action. Kiumbura Githinji
