"I would like to thank RADA for providing me with an invaluable learning experience during my 3 months Volunteer under the Circles Program at RADA. It has been a pleasure to work with the staffs and other facilitators outside the organization. I have gained much practical knowledge on life planning, Advocacy, Grant writing, Strategic network, Social Media communication just to name a few.

"I go by the names Chenwi Claris Nchangnwi and if I am to describe the circles program in one word, I will call it an incubator. It is that program that nurtures you with the right skills to elevate to the next stage of success. It has indeed been 3 months filled with very impactful lessons which have molded me. I particularly volunteered with the Communications team and the skills gained so far are priceless. My sincere gratitude goes to the entire staff of RADA for giving me the opportunity to be a part of this amazing program. This definitely forms one of the highlights of my life and in it I found not just a circle but a family "
