MOCHUDI: Stepping Stones International (SSI) has proven that talent comes in different forms and shapes when students displayed their capabilities on Friday.

The talents were showcased at the launch of Aflateen, an innovative and interactive programme that is designed to develop children and youth to become better with handling their finances. Barclays Bank of Botswana, and the Ministry of Education and Skills and Development (MoESD) made possible the launch. 

The non-profit organisation choir made up of 32 members mesmerised the audience with their voices.  Singing songs like Talent and Se Na Ka Ngwedi.  The choir clearly demonstrated that being orphaned or coming from a less fortunate family does not mean one should feel sorry for themselves.  Rather they should discover their own gift and master it. Speaking to Showbiz choirmaster, Tshephang Kwapa, decided to form a choir last year after they discovered that they are all vocally gifted.
