Siyafuna Mcuta
Siya is guided by the vision of helping the youth build skills that will allow them to stand on their own and help themselves. Her creative gifts are in bead work and writing. She learnt beading from her mother, and has since then used this skill creatively and practically as an additional source of income. Siya's passion in the community lies in teaching and guiding the youth on how to write. She encourages writing as a means of expression, because expressing oneself through speech is not always easy. Some of these pieces turn into stories and poems.
