Vanessa Gives in August


For the August stokvel we managed to collect R1685. In our meeting, we discussed the possibility of giving the money to one of our black sisters to further her education and I was advised to call Donna Smith at the Forum for the empowerment of Women (FEW, an NGO in Johannesburg who work with young black lesbians). I called Donna up and she said there was someone who was currently doing a A+ Technicians course, an IT qualification, and they had sponsored her the first half of her course, and she need to find the rest of the money, apparently quite soon. So I called up Tebogo and she was thrilled, I then deposited the money directly into Universal College's account and viola!, it was that easy. (left: Vee likes her lager)
