Our 3-Day Journey | Day Two: Education and Life Skills 🍰📘

We wrapped up Day 2 with an inspiring and hands-on session led by Ms. Rabecca Banda, focusing on the importance of combining education with practical skills.

She reminded the teens that education builds knowledge and discipline, while skills build independence and opportunity.
As they grow, both are essential for a successful and balanced life.

The lesson didn’t end in words — the teens got creative during a cake-making session, where they learned and practiced together.
The excitement continued as the cake was completed and shared on the third day during our closing ceremony.

Why Education and Skills Matter:
-Education opens the mind — skills open doors.
-A skill can sustain you even when opportunities seem few.
-Combining both gives you confidence and independence.
-Learning never stops — every skill adds value to your purpose.

We’re raising a generation that is not just spiritually anchored, but also skilled and prepared for life!

Our 3-Day Journey | Day Two: Life Lessons & Overcoming Temptations 🙏💬

In this life, it’s important for our young people to learn the truth about life — the do’s and don’ts, and the consequences of certain actions and behaviors that can cause permanent damage.

This session was handled with care and honesty, as we separated the boys and girls to address sensitive topics relevant to each group.
It was essential for everyone to have a safe space to learn, ask questions, and grow.

We’re so grateful for the impactful teachings from Mr. Sylvester Nyambe and Mrs. Dodia, who guided these sessions with wisdom and grace.

Later, Mr. Robert led a powerful discussion on Overcoming Sin and Temptation, helping the teens understand the importance of developing practical strategies to stay strong and make the right choices.

Each moment reminded us that growth happens when truth meets love — and when the young are guided with purpose and care.

1️⃣ Know Why You Exist – Every life has meaning and direction in God.
2️⃣ Don’t Let the World Define You – True identity comes from your Creator, not from trends.
