WISHLIST FOR STUDENT REQUIREMENTS
We are, as always in need of financial support for the next intake (2021), we now have four mentors so we would ideally like to take on four students. Before Covid-19 we had plans to expand to Cape Town in 2021. Everything seems a bit unsure and bleak at the moment as unemployment and poverty in South Africa is at an all time high.
We managed to get laptops in 2020 which are 'as new' and much better condition than the ones we have been using since 2016.
Our students come from very challenging circumstances so we need to supply for their needs to enable them to be at college and thrive. Even getting to campus is a financial challenge for them and so is a basic like data to enable them to do research to mention just a few things. Most of 2020's academic year has taken place online due to the pandemic and we have had a huge need for data.
Many of our supporters have asked how they can help us so we have decided to put these requirements out into our community in the hope that some kind soul can assist us with some of these requirements. Any financial donation or other donation no matter how big or small makes an incredible difference to this project.
We will update this list as we progress but here are some of our current worries/wishes
