We managed to sneak in a short interview with the beautiful SoulKids® Mentors while they were teaching life-skills to 13 beautiful children.

Zoe
The SoulKids® program is fun and teaches
the children important life-skills that will help them in all sorts of
situations, through teamwork activities. They learn how to be a good friend, to
never give up and believe in themselves, among other things. Just the fact that
they leave being positive and learn one or more lessons, in itself, is a
fulfilling experience.
Amanda
Being a SoulKids® Mentor is an amazing and thought provoking experience. The ability to invoke story-telling techniques into learning about
various aspects of self-confidence is inspiring. They learn to be passionate
and creative. It also teaches children to think differently – not like anyone
else. It’s wonderful to see the transformation from who they are when they
enter to who they become when they leave.
Siok
Being
positive is a key lesson taught at SoulKids®, as is seeing the good in yourself,
focusing on your actions, being a team leader and a team follower at various
times and growing your self-esteem through various engaging activities. It
gives children the tools to create, a bigger, better and brighter life for
themselves as well as those around them.
Kheam
The SoulKids® program gives me a chance to teach essential life-skills through story and play,
to a group of wonderful, children. The experience is at times full of light bulb moments! It
teaches you to expect the unexpected and that each child is special and unique.
