I quote from Tata Rolihlahla Nelson Mandela saying ‘One of the way we can build a better future for our children is by empowering them through allowing them to speak up for themselves. Of course, we as adults have to guide them and to take the ultimate responsibility but that is something quite different from patronising them. The rights of children must, importantly, include the right to be themselves and to talk for themselves.
The publication spoke to her mother Yolisa Blom who gave us the permission to speak to her child. ‘i want her to write for herself’. She said.
‘IN HER RESPONSE TO THE INTERVIEW ‘My name is Ayola and my surname is Blom ‘‘What makes me stand out is I’m smart confident teachable which makes me the perfect match for this industry’.
The gorgeous , Smart , beautiful, hard working Ayola compete at the national Arts Talent Showcase in johannes burg which is held annually in NEW YORK CITY NYC as she was scouted last year at Bon Hotel Bloem Plaza Mall Bloemfontein , so far her parents were managed to make payments for other activities which have and are still taking place in Johannesburg . The family recently had to relocate due to the competition and in need of the remaining funds to cover her travel costs to travel to NEW YORK CITY to represent South africa. ‘ I feel like I’ve made it 1 step closer to success and I’d practice to win’. ‘ i have Been scared and shy but now overcomed the fear and am not thinking about what other people think of me’. She expressed.
WHEN ASKED WHAT WOULD HE SAY SHOULD SHE GET A CHANCE TO MEET PRESIDENT CYRIL RAMAPHOSA ‘I would ask him to support every shelter in south africa and ask him to develop more shelter homes.
TO BUSINESSES SHE SAYS ‘ Please support my trip to new york, i will make you proud! IN HER CONCLUSION SHE SAYS ‘You should always be confident and love no matter what‘.
I QUOTE ‘Let us reach out to the children. Let us do whatever we can to support their fight to rise above their pain and suffering. It always gives me great pleasure to be surrounded by the beautiful children of our land.
