The Social Enterprise in Secondary Schools Ambassador Campaign continues with another feature from Holland High School. Meet Dennesha Frazer, Lead Teacher for the Social Enterprise Club, who shares some insight on the programme.
Q:
What do you love most about the British Council’s Social Enterprise in Secondary School Programme?
A:
The programme allows the youth to experience the joys of entrepreneurship, as well as the hard work required to sustain a business. The programme also encourages students to become more aware of and sensitive to the needs of others. There is also the opportunity for students to recognise that entrepreneurship is a viable way to make an income.
Q:
Why would you recommend that other students become a part of the Social Enterprise Programme at your school?
A:
I would encourage students to join the Social Enterprise club because this allows them to explore their creativity in a way that will be beneficial both economically and academically. The social aspect of the programme will also be very good for their emotional health and well-being because helping those in need is truly fulfilling.
Q:
What do you think are some of the benefits of being a social entrepreneur?
A:
Being a social entrepreneur will help you to feel fulfilled, as more social needs are being provided for. It will see the entrepreneur gaining more support as people are more apt to support businesses which are so flavoured. This will also benefit the community in which the entrepreneur operates as well since solving social problems means impacting lives positively.
