On Tuesday the 16 of June 2020 was Youth Day in South Africa. It is a
commemoration of the Soweto Uprising, which took place on 16 June 1976, where thousands of students were ambushed by the Apartheid regime.
Each year we also celebrate Youth Day in the village. This year forty
of our teenagers participated in this enormous event. It was an important and special day for them as they had spent one week thoroughly preparing for their performances. It was exciting to see our teenagers leading small groups and faithfully encouraging their peers while practising. During the week of preparation, it was great to see a spirit of unity and harmony in the village.
Even though this was a youth celebration all children were looking
forward to this day and wanted to show their God-given talent. So the pre-teens also had the opportunity to perform some items. Our young people’s performances were well presented and everyone enjoyed the day with all its artistic display, the gathering and the refreshments.
