How do People see our Programmes

Comments by Educators attending the Values Awards Ceremony.

  Serame Shadrack Mahlabegoana - Dr. Knak Primary:
"Values workshops are more important to us South Africans because some of us don't know how to handle certain situations. The Award Ceremony was very well organised.

  L.R. Makobe- Dr Knak Primary:
"Everything was arranged up to standard. I think others should learn from the organisers. Participants were out of African soil, keep it up. From the workshop I've learned a lot it was easy for me to understand other's values, what remains is just to implement what we've learnt".

  M J Makwela - Minerva Secondary:
"I really did learn a lot from this workshop. It has made a difference to me. I have changed my view of life. The Award Ceremony was most wonderful ! I have seen cultural diversity in the fullest sense. I thank you Gerald from the deepest of my heart"

  Josephine Mokgoatlheng -Minerva High:
"Values are important components of our lives. We apply them on a daily basis They guide us and help us to make decisions and solve our problems".

  Rosina Mapula Mashishi - Mikateka Primary:
"Spectacular workshop. Superb award ceremony. Do it again please".

  Daisy Nyamane - District D9 official:
"It was value for money. I personally gained from the guest speakers speech. It made me feel like I had been part of the "Values Workshop".
