“What’s in your hands?” That was the question that Lami, one of the Ajilla Champions for Change, asked the students at the By the Hands Club, an Ajilla Foundation partner, at this weeks Career Talk Session.
Over the past couple of weeks we’ve had our Champions share their educational, personal and professional stories to over 50 students at the Club. Below is some of the feedback that we have received from the students that participated in the sessions:
I learned that there are a lot of career choices
I learned that you have to risk to get where you want
I learned that you should work hard to get to what u want in life.
I remember when somebody said that they teacher told them not to stop learning or some like that. It helped because I was about stop going to school but I have to push myself & keep learning.
What does “What’s in your hands?” mean? It means that we all have something that can be used to make this world a better place.
It could be your story
It could be your advice
It could be your network
It could be your time
It could be your money
It could be a lot of things!
These champions used their stories to inspire - they are using what is in their hands.
