I’m Tomasz and live in the Netherlands, and study at the TU so a big Hi to Frerieke hehehe
All these stories have impressed and moved me but when I read story 9 I was inspired by the courage and strength with which Themby faces her difficulties. Therefore I vote for this story.

I vote for: STORY 05: The feeling of being lonely.
But that does not mean the rest of the stories didn’t touch me, great stuff!

Hi!!
First of all; I really ‘like’ all of the story’s!! And I really wish all of you the very best in life and I hope that the future brings wonderful things and times!!
The story that I liked (well, liked is not the best word.. but you know what I mean!!) the most is the story of Zikhona (Story 7; Robbed off..)! I think that she has to win the laptop and I hope she get’s the best in life! You deserve it!!!
I’m from Holland!

Hi all!
With a fresh cup of coffee I started to read the stories. The story that would like to vote for is “STORY 08: no longer!” because of it’s honesty and bravery. Me thinks it requires some strength to show your vulnerabilities. Sbuja, enjoy the laptop!

Hi, being a psychologist I cannot help to go for STORY 03: The pleasure of Self-mutilation. This brave young Nanzi deserves a lap top.
Cheers,
Edith

Hi, my vote goes to Nanzi, story 3. I hope the laptop will help her to continue moving in that positive direction that she chose recently.

They are all well-written and it takes courage to write with such openness. Good job to everyone that shared their story.
If I had to choose, it would be Story 01:
I really liked this paragraph:
“Zoom in on your global map and you’ll find in Africa a well known sunny country called South Africa, further down you’ll find a big city called Cape Town. I live in a small region in Cape Town called Khayelitsha. Every month, week, or day is filled with entirely new experiences for mostly the young stars like me who love touring Khayelitsha.”
Best wishes from Bolivia

I vote for story 5, Kabelo, you are so lonely. It is not good for a mother to hear this. Good luck for you. Best wishes from a aunt off Fre-rieke

Wow… your stories made me fall silent. I’m impressed with what you have gone through in life, and how strong you are moving on!
My vote goes to Nanzi, story 3… I wish I had more votes.
Best wishes all,
Pelle

You are all big stars – never give up and keep shining !

So much good stories from even better and stronger individuals. So I agree with Pelle. I wish I had more votes
But I guess I have only one. So my vote goes to Themby, story 9. I was really moved by your story and especially your strength. Keep in touch with the girl behind the laugh, and let her come out when it is save.
Greetings

Hopefully I am not too late for voting….. With all those intense stories, it’s just really hard to choose one!! Though I really appreciate all of your writings, my vote goes to Sbuja (story 8). You have every right to be proud of yourself! All of you guys do..
Lots of love!

Very touching and well-articulated stories and as much as I think you all deserve to win, but i’m afraid we are allowed to only vote for one person.
‘The pleasure of Self-mutilation’ by Nanzi gets my vote.
I’m inspired, again!
All my love and support,
Zamo

Eish! So many good stories – a highlight in the S4H history up until now.
My vote goes to story 8!
May 1st, 2010 at 9:33 am
oh! that is very hurting and touching i wish i could be like you. You are a very brave and strong girl. All i have for you is keep on to your bravery and focus on your future that would make a difference.
I am very very inspired and wishing you all the best in life.
“One of them” by thembi gets my vote with no hesitation
Patricia!
