Project Name/Description:
Environparks Skills Center, volunteer
From an early age, Anistine Watson was taught the importance of education by her parents. She hardly forgets the day her parents made her choose between a schoolbag and takkies; she chose the former, which she still believes was a rewarding experience. Her academic accolades include Higher Certificates in Project Management, Human Resource Management, Safety and Security, and Business Management. She is a source of inspiration for youth in her community. She has invested her time in making a significant contribution through volunteering in various schools, and that has given her an opportunity to work closely with the youth. For over 10 years, she has worked with the youth at Environparks Skills Center in Riverlea, where she is making a tangible impact daily. She attributes her success to her upbringing, “Growing up, my upbringing was strict, with a strong emphasis on morals, values, and principles. My grandmother, grandfather, aunt, mom, and stepdad each played a significant role in shaping my life, teaching me valuable lessons that have stayed with me to this day,” she remembered.
