It’s a great honor to be part of PAY. I benefit a lot from PAY. I get to travel around a lot mainly for cycling races and in terms of academics, I get to practice a lot mainly English and Mathematics. On Fridays, we have life skills sessions that teach us to make wise decisions in life. Not to mention the fact that this is all free of charge. A big shout out to PAY volunteers, staff and sponsors.

Cosmos High School, Grade 12PAY means a second chance in life to me. PAY gave me an opportunity to go back to school and the chance to guide me to follow my dream of studying computer science. Academics at PAY are very good because the teachers at PAY focus on the individual and his/ her capability, and work with you to improve your academics. I just want to add that PAY needs more teachers and space for learning.

Combretum Trust School, Grade 12To me, soccer means a lot, I play soccer as it is fun especially when my team wins but as a captain I also have to be there for my team and to make them smile even though we lose, and if there is any problem, I have I have to solve it. Playing soccer for PAY was one of my dreams, and it actually came true and I am really grateful for it.

Before I came to PAY I was bad in Mathematics, and now I'm one of the best. I like sports because we gain more experience when we play against other teams.

Brighten Mabakeng
Windhoek High School, Grade 10PAY is like home to me. PAY is a fun place, everyone is loving and caring. It is a friendly environment. All your friends have a purpose in life and will influence you in a good way. They are all serious with their school work and work hard. It makes you work hard because you don’t want to be left behind. If you are left behind, they help you to catch up. They also have endless conversations with you about your school work which push you to know your work in order for you to fit in. PAY is a place I was dreaming about to join and improve my academics.

Jan Jonker Afrikaner Secondary School, Grade 10PAY means the world to me, because it helps me to study and learns things about life. It helps us learners who can't swim, play soccer, cycle and dance and it also helps us with many subjects such as mathematics, accounting and life skills. It gives us enough time to study for exams and we also make new friends here. PAY is amazing and it really helps us with our education.
