Our former Vice President of The Rotaract
of Matopos our very own Pamela N Mukwenha who is currently in exile in South Africa *for academic reasons* was selected out of a million global
applicants to be a delegate at a Global Change makers
summit which was held in England recently. Pamela an undergraduate student of Chemical
Engineering at the University of
Pretoria is also the cofounder of Jamili
Afrika an organisation that she started with her
friends to promote the good name of Africa.Her selection to be a delegate at
the summit automatically makes her an ambassador of the Global Change makers
programme .The Global Changemakers programme is managed by the British
Council Switzerland. The British
Council is the United Kingdoms’s international organisation for cultural
relations and educational opportunities .The Global Change makers are a
select group of young people, aged from 16 to 25, who have demonstrated a
significant track record of achievement in their local communities through
social entrepreneurship, community activism and volunteer work. These exceptional
young people are part of a global network where they share ideas, knowledge,
and best practices, and where they work individually and together on projects that directly
impact the lives of those in their local communities. Currently there are over
730 change makers from 120 countries working alongside more than 50,000 other
young people to promote positive social change.
Pamela
credits her love for community development
through social entrepreneurship to her work as a youth ambassador under the Ministry of Education & JICA, her
experiences with Rotaract Matopos and Lead Us Today . The
Club congratulates her on her achievement and clearly the world will continue
to shake because of ‘small giants” like her. Amhlophe ,Makorokoto "usifake emephini siyaziqhenya ngawe' #we are proud of you#.
