Testimonies

As a PCCS beneficiary I would like to thank the organization. I learnt a lot about mental health. I use to suffer from depression but the weekly sessions at Sakubva library on mental health enlightened my life. PCCS staff taught about carrier guidance and this directed me to the right course which I am taking today at Mutare Polytechnic. I am elated about Pccs, because now a former vagrant is now sharing the same table with the chosen once. Thank you once again thank you.

With the help of PCCS I was able to heal from grief .Kind words are very powerful. They can heal, elevate, encourage, advise, inform, instruct and soothe. There is always a time you think everything is finished but that will be the beginning .I would like to encourage everyone who is going through hard times no matter how hard your situation is no situation lasts forever .God never sleeps nor shuts one door but opens another. We must train from the inside. Thank you PCCS and special thanks to all the members who walked us throughout.
