Its unbelievable that it is that time of the year, a time of sharing and giving. A time when we reflect back and consider how we made it over. For me and most of us when we ponder on the high times and the low times of the year, we are grateful that we have overcome. For some of us this has not been a good year on the other hand others had a year of their lives. But in the end we have made it. I am the most grateful person living on this earth today. Now that is a statement that will astonish many people. If you have been where I have been you will understand the context of that statement. Despite the many challengers we have faced this year, everyone at Conquest For Life have shown the spirit of a Conqueror. In one of the movies of Leon Schuster, one character said they dont call me die hard for nothing. That is the spirit that our partners, staff and donors have displayed in making this year 2011 a memorable moment. I remember the words of Jesse Jackson during a concert of Aretha Franklin. He said we thank God for the bad and the days. The bad days allow us to appreciate just how good, the good days were. With this attitude and mindset I would like to enjoy what is left of the year and to end it on a high note We want to wish all our friends, parents a blessed festive season and for those that are going on holiday please drive safely and remember we need you to help us make a difference. Everyone a change maker .

There should be regular meetings between the four branches to discuss the camps and draw
up the programme and organize other Diversion camps in other weekends. Rhulani Ntuthu, one of the participants that took part in the camp said, Conquest for Life taught him to take responsibility in everything he does in life and, he is responsible for his own actions. The camp taught him about life and how to live it to the fullest; in a healthy way. Rhulani concluded by saying he learnt a lot of soccer skills that his coach didnt teach him.
