The undertaking

<ul style="text-align:justify;">
  <li>
    Saturday School
  </li>
  <li>
    Rags to Riches
  </li>
</ul>

<p style="text-align:justify;">
  The saturday school is a program that transports pupils to the University of Cape Town, and tutors them there. In addition to the scholastic benefit, there's also the bonus of being exposed to an environment quite different from the one out in the Townships. It shouldn't be too hard to imagine how hard it would be study for an important exam out in the townships, without any idea of where one is studying to get in. Another challenge to educating these youngsters is that they need to learn about the whole range of careers available to them.

<p style="text-align:justify;">
  Funding the saturday school is the Rags to Riches program. It's a program that receives clothing donations, and then sell clothes to women who can sell them again. To many it would seem wrong to sell these donated clothes back into the townships, but it's the only way to introduce these clothes into the market without dumping the market prizes and thereby ruining peoples' livings.

  Finally getting placed
</h3>

<p style="text-align:justify;">
  Last sunday was the big showdown session where we, 17 of us, had to agree on our placements. After some nudging we eventually came to an agreement, and I was placed on the Nyanga center with Lars. I'm pretty excited about the placement because I see potential in the center, and Lars who I'll be working with is a skilled level-headed guy. Tomorrow will be our first day of working out in the townships. Excitement. :)
