#Testimonial
“Deep down in my heart, I know that I need it. I want to learn something I’m lacking, and that is voice projection and presenting my work in public. I feel like the workshop would be a life changer for me. I’ve seen the power of the workshop to people that I knew before they came to AIMS (Thembelihle). What the workshop did for her can never be undone. This does not only aid the individual at hand but also helps the whole community and individuals who look at us as role models. I would like to change the future of Africa, by shaping the present. I would like to be a good and exceptional example to the youth that’s also interested in being a different version of scientists.” 2024 AS Introductory workshop participant
