Joined MTGK in 2003

Before I joined MTGK I was unable to make any decisions for myself.  Also I couldn’t play football nor express myself in front of many people.  I was told what MTGK is by my friends but it wasn’t very easy for me to understand it.  After a short period I started to understand this organization and what it was all about.  To me I saw the importance of me joining this organization.

When I joined MTGK I started by educating myself about what HIV and AIDS is and after that I educated my friends.  So I want to thank MTGK for giving me a chance to educate my fellow girls on topics like reproductive health and HIV and AIDS. I thank this organization for giving me a job and giving me computer skills. For sure this organization has opened up my mind until I have decided to start driving classes. Without MTGK I would not have done all these things.

I am thankful to this organization because it doesn’t look at the level of my education but they always work hand in hand and support me. I am grateful with this organization because it deals with girls and if it wasn’t for MTGK I would probably have given birth by now without getting married. It is very difficult to find a girl of my age at 20 years who is not in school who doesn’t have a baby. But to me I don’t know what to say apart from thanks a lot to MTGK.
