This September, HADEDA highlights the PRIDE & HERITAGE that we experience in and around our Adventure camp...
See our Sales Guru: Charlene's post:
>>>
I grew up English-speaking, but honestly, the values that shaped me were very Afrikaans.
Respect and hard work.
Perseverance and humility.
And caring for others.
These values still guide the way I work and the relationships I build.
And perhaps that’s why being able to move between English and Afrikaans with clients has been such a gift in my career.
Language creates connection.
It builds trust, and it helps people feel understood.
That is important to me, especially during Heritage Month.
South Africa is full of different cultures, languages and stories, and our diversity is something we should be very proud of.
I feel lucky that, through HADEDA Creek, I get to be part of passing some of that on to the next generation.
Our students come to us for adventure, but they leave with lessons that go far beyond the activities.
They learn to rely on each other.
They discover what they’re capable of.
They step outside their comfort zones.
They learn to care for and support one another.
For me, that is ubuntu. It is the South African spirit of togetherness and caring for others.
That is what heritage means to me.
I am proud to be South African.
I am proud of where I have come from.
And I am so proud of what I get to pass on.
