11 to 16 year-olds are just beginning to imagine possibilities, recognize consequences of their actions and anticipate what others are thinking. Youth begin to question family and school rules and challenge authority. At Abaphumeleli orphenage, our teenagers have grown into natural helpers since they have been living with a lot of other younger orphans. We are accompanying them through their teenage growth which includes a lot of changes and life questionning.
We are very proud of them and wish to ensure them a bright future, good education and social development.
