Mothusi is a teenager with an amazing story; he has difficult family circumstances and he was homeless. The King’s Foundation has been part of Mothusi’s transformation to a community leader and role model.
Mothusi is now training in South Africa to become Assistant Pastor at a church, he is a role model for the teenagers and children around him. During the King’s Foundation sports outreach programmes, he interpreted for the UK team to the younger children and led the local volunteers with great enthusiasm, showing maturity beyond his years.
At a volunteer presentation ceremony at the end of their development programme, Mothusi spoke about how much the programmes had enthused and equipped him to run future programmes and how he was looking forward to being a role model for his peers in Old Naledi Village. Mothusi now leads the “AWANA” sports outreach programme for 150 children every Saturday afternoon in Old Naledi.
There are many Mothusi’s throughout the world. If we can work with them, capture their enthusiasm, release their gifts and talents so that they can realise their potential, then the effect on them and on communities like Old Naledi will be extraordinary.
