“Personally it was mind-blowing and a very good course. I have learnt how to relax my body and my mind by doing long and short breathing techniques. I also learnt how to be responsible for my actions and how to manage my stress.” - Jodean Sas

“My experience here was outstanding because some lovely people kept me focused in my creative expression of changing the world. Now I am: more caring, more confident in my vision, clearer on how I am going to strategize my vision in changing the world. I have taken tools that will take me far in life. It is the best program because it is effective in creating a positive change in the mind of people. My greatest wish is that it spreads to help my people in Africa.” I, Soweto

YES! has helped me be more confident and build my self-image and self-concept more than it used to be.  I have learnt a better way to deal with stress and not let anyone push my buttons.  The focus technique has helped me in my studying.  After each class I feel relaxed, it helps calm my mind. The power breathing helps me get more energy, the only thing is it takes a lot of power.  I really appreciate your help and support in this class.  Thank you.

“There has been a lot of noticeable improvement in academic performance. The June results are impressive and when comparing the learners who attended Yes! For Schools and those who did not, there is a huge difference. The learners who attended the classes concentrate more that those who did not attend. Those who attended are always calmer and cooperative most of the time. The school is really impressed to see the change and we hope that the lessons will continue to be taught to other grades so that our school becomes a better place.”
