"Meet Shantel Mpofu , a testament to the power of purpose. Before joining Green Haven, she was searching - for direction, for dreams, for a path to call her own.
But GREEN HAVEN YDC gave her more than just mentorship; it gave her a roadmap. And with it, she found herself thriving. When the chance to volunteer at Peniel's neurosurgeons' conference came up, she took it. In the kitchen, amidst the heat and hustle, something sparked.
The head chef saw it - potential, passion, purpose - and offered her a spot at Peniel Retreat Center. Today, she's living her dream as a chef, cooking up more than just meals; she's serving joy, serving purpose.
This is Green Harvest's impact. Seeds planted, fruits borne. 🌱"
