Change Starts with You and Me That has been my motto throughout my journey as an Ambassador. If one does not initiate a call to action, when who is expected to? This is why, on the 30th of March 2019. I had set out to meet the STEMMates. This is a club organised by Nomvuyiseka (Vuyi) Tumana, a kind and humbled person who is also my colleague at the Department of Water and Sanitation. I had met up with her the week before to brief her of my work and what the mandate of the Eco-Generation Platform are. She happily invited me to one of their meeting sessions where I got a chance to talk about the Programme and also share so insight of what wonderful learning experiences that it provides.  Nomvuyiseka (holding the camera) as she informs the attendees of upcoming activities. I handed out promotional goods to the attendees such as: the Eco-Gen' flyer, notebook, pen, ruler and my business card if they wish to get hold of me.  The attendees of the learning session also known as The STEMMates. The attendees spanned for the ages of 6 all the way to 17. All vibrant and excited to be part of the learning session. They introduces themselves and also mentioned what they would want to become in the future.  A STEMMate member, she was giving a mini intro about herself. Some mentioned 'Lawyer', 'Actor/Actress', 'Geologist', 'Police officer' and the one that made me and everyone in the meeting laugh was when one 6 year old attendee said that he would one day like to become an 'Accident!'  This STEMMate member, was also giving a mini intro about herself. The club has also planned on a number of upcoming projects, such as: beach clean ups, river clean ups, participating in public speaking and also getting many disadvantaged schools in involved with their programme. Nomvuyiseka has already invited me to future meetings and activities that are in the pipe-line at the moment as well and I am so thrilled to be part of this journey with the STEMMates!  Who could that be in front of the Tuna Eco-Gen banner Mmm? In addition, I also let them on the monthly events and competitions held by the Platform. So Tunza will be expecting a multitude of South African STEMMates as active members soon! :) I would like to takes this opportunity to thank Sis Vuyi organising this learning session. You are an inspiration to me and many who want to do the work that you do. Moreover, you are a ray of hope for many children who think that the streets are the only place to be. And most importantly, you are the salt of the Earth, you not only uplift the children mentally, but spiritually as well. Keep shining Vuyi! And take a bow STEMMates!

Hi Mentor Wonhee,
Thank you so much for reading my report! The attendees were truely excited to be part of the learning session, moreover, this meeting has excited more children and youth to take part in the next learning session.
I too am hopeful that these kids will become ambassadors in their own right and keep on being a force for nature.
Thank you!
