POLOKWANE – APAS which was recently launched in South Africa is a movement which encourages people to take responsibility for their own future, to nurture love and life.
[WATCH] Change leader for APAS, Reholegile Mehlape, explained that suicide is not always an intentional act by a person. “Being a victim of this illness, I can attest that a lot of factors play a major role which lead to thoughts of suicide. This is why it is important for us as communities to check on one another as often as we can.I hope that when everyone in attendance leaves this one day program they leave positive with a change on mind and go out there to carry out this mandate of putting an end to this social problem that we face on a daily basis in our communities,” explained Pastor Honey.
Another main speaker, Rev. Jerry Vreeman, flew all the way from USA, Colorado Springs from a organisation called L.I.O.N Outreach International(Leadership in Obscurity Network) to come and inspire as well as motivate attendees to not give up on life.
