Youth Day is dedicated to the hundreds of youth who died in Soweto on June 16th, 1976 during a peaceful protest against the Apartheid government’s directive. To honor the day, students came together at Thanda to sing, dance, create signs, perform science experiments, make recycled art collages, and learn about using the library for research! We discussed human and children’s rights, too.
Before beginning her work as the Marketing & Communications Coordinator at Thanda, Alicia was a Healthy Youth Advisor for the U.S. Peace Corps in South Africa's neighboring country, Lesotho. In 2014, she graduated from the University of Denver in Colorado, USA with a degree in International Health and Development. She is passionate about photography and story-telling that is inspired by people, culture, and the human reality in our incredibly vast universe. You can see more of her work at www.aliciamcarter.com
