Ten learners from Dawnview High School joined the Primrose police and members of the Primrose CPF for a special Take a Girl Child to Work Day event.<\/p>\n
The event organised by the SAPS, the Gauteng Department of Education and other stakeholders, last Thursday, took place at the Alberton Civic Centre.<\/p>
\u201cThe day started with a peaceful walk from New Market Mall to the Alberton Civic Centre.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce there the girls, from various schools across Ekurhuleni, were treated to a number of motivational talks,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>
Speakers included Ekurhuleni West Cluster stations\u2019 representative Lt Col Phindile Mabitsela, who stressed to the girls that success does not happen overnight and they need to work hard to reach their dreams.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery day you get a little bit better than the day before and a step closer to your dreams,\u201d Mabitsela said.<\/p>\n
Motivational speaker Boitumelo Moloi also offered the learners motivation.<\/p>\n
Moloi encouraged the girls to believe in their dreams as this will help them achieve their goals.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo matter the circumstances one comes across in life, you have the power and authority to overcome it, keep your eyes on the prize and remember no one can take your dream away from you,\u201d Moloi said.<\/p>\n
The day ended with all participants receiving a certificate as a token of appreciation from the organisers for their involvement in the event.<\/p>\n
