At SAYes Mentoring, we believe that when young people are supported, they discover their voice — and Kwabena’s story is a shining example. A mentee in our programme, Kwabena recently accomplished something extraordinary: he published his very first fiction novel at just 23 years old. His book, The Ministry of Troubled Scholars, explores identity, courage, and the search for belonging — themes that reflect not only his creative spirit but also his personal journey of growth and self-discovery.
In a recent interview with SAYes, Kwabena shared how mentorship was not only featured in the book but the importance of good mentors in a young person's life and the impact different perspectives can have. Kwabena’s achievement reminds us why mentorship matters — it builds more than skills; it builds belief. Each connection made through SAYes opens a pathway for young people to discover their potential, contribute their talents, and dream beyond their circumstances.
We’re so proud of Kwabena and all our mentees who are working toward their goals with dedication and heart. Thank you for supporting SAYes and helping us create more stories of courage, creativity, and connection.
