AFRICAN SCHOLARS' FUND
Today we spoke to Nobuthembu Iululu and Margareet Elsworth of the African Scholars' Fund, discussing their projects and what they are busy with in society.
The fund works with about 600 schools every year and is in touch with nearly twice that number. Personal contacts with our scholars and the staff who teach them are invaluable and give us some idea of the conditions of the schools where our children are enrolled. Visits to our schools, therefore, are arranged whenever possible, but without disrupting classes. Reports on these visits are available. Most recent visits have been to the Northern Cape, as far as Kuruman and Ookiep, and to the heavily populated areas of Whittlesea and Alice areas of the Eastern Cape .
The Fund received the Education Africa award in 1997 and 1998 and the Ithemba (Hope) Award in 1997. The work has been honoured by Rotary Clubs and the Lions.
