Delivered by SayPro Deputy Chairperson
Good day, SayPro family,
Today, on this special occasion of Valentine’s Day, we pause to celebrate something far greater than flowers, gifts, or romantic gestures. We come together to celebrate the power of love in action — love that uplifts, unites, and empowers.
At SayPro, love is the foundation of everything we do. It is found in every classroom we support, every life skill we teach, every job we help create, and every community we help transform. Love, to us, means serving with purpose, leading with empathy, and building with heart.
As Deputy Chairperson, I am humbled by the stories I see every day — stories of resilience, growth, and transformation made possible through your passion and commitment. Our team, our partners, and our youth — you are the living examples of what love can do when it is focused on making a difference.
Valentine’s Day reminds us to not only cherish the people closest to us but to also extend that love outward — to the young person seeking a chance, to the family in need of opportunity, to the society yearning for hope and positive change.
Let this day be a call to lead with kindness. Let us love more in our actions — in how we listen, how we serve, and how we carry forward our mission of empowerment.
As we move through 2025, may love continue to guide SayPro’s vision — love for learning, love for growth, and love for a future where no one is left behind.
From my heart to yours — thank you for being a part of this journey. Thank you for choosing to lead with love.
Happy Valentine’s Day to each of you. Let’s continue to build a world where love is not only felt — but seen, shared, and lived.
With appreciation and unity,
[Sapapi Johannes Mputla]
