Tuesday, 04 December 2012 |
|
 W.A.V.E. Empowering Youth Day, honours
youth, who have ‘Made a Difference’ in their schools and communities, with a
Louise Russo Youth or Leadership Award. These individuals took the initiative to
organize direct outreach and networking activities that focused on the 3R’s –
Respect, Responsibility and the Role of leadership, to create a safer place to
live, learn and play.
The
day provides a platform for past and present Louise Russo Youth Award recipients
to share their stories, how their initiative is making a difference and as an
award recipient, how they are able to encourage other youth (their peers) to
believe that one-by-one we can all make a difference.
