I wonder where would I have been now if it wasn't for you to give me a chance in this programme. Lots of things are happening in the township, bad influences, peer-pressure and temptations. Through this programme I managed to resist all those habits. Even now some elders ask how I do it and I tell them just like it is: SAEP.
