I am Ethel Manyerere, a 22 year old young mother and I am doing a diploma in HIV and AIDS counseling and also a volunteer at Africaid Zvandiri as a YMM-Young Mentor Mother. The LEMHs training helped me to discover my passion and who I am as an individual and I was also inspired by others story telling that nothing is impossible even if its hard that time. From all the thematic areas that underlies within the LEMHs training my passion lie on Gender based violence and child abuse, women and girls abuse which is what I am going to work on as my Yell project.

The Skills I now possess as a leader are I now have confidence to stand in front of many people, I now know myself who exactly I am, I now know what kind of a leader I am, I now have courage in everything I do for me to be able to set my goals and to make sure that I have archive them all at the right time without any fear.

In 10 years from now I see myself as a top 5 counselor in the world, as a freedom fighter, as voice of those who don’t have power to speak up for themselves.
