GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY

The learners from Walter Sisulu University in East London who are doing their first year in media studies started a non-profit organization to help the underprivileged high school learners from around East London. The aim for this organization is to help young learners with school stationary and also sanitary towels for young adult women. It is so heart-warming to see other young adult learners embarking on journey to help others. They are also motivating these learners to never stop dreaming back and that they must never allow their condition from their homes to determine their destiny.

There is a saying that says ‘it takes a village to raise a child’ and these young learners proved that to be true. They are hoping that their organization will grow into a bigger organization so that they can be able to help other underprivileged learners not only from East London but all over Eastern Cape province and maybe all nine provinces.

              

They named their organization the Eastern for Africa Foundation, the first school to gain from these aspiring young journalist was Wongalethu high school from Duncan village in East London. They gave 25 learners school stationary and sanitary towels to young females. It has been a long journey for them because they have been up down looking for sponsors and it hasn’t been easy, but it was all worth it in end because they were able to help those learners.
