During 2016 myself and 11 others (mainly from the SAHA Foyer in Newhaven) participated in the Odyssey Invictus personal development programme that includes an expedition to KwaZulu Natal in South Africa.  One aspect of the expedition was our visiting a deprived school (Ntokozo) to donate learning resources and gain an understanding of what it is like to live and be educated in rural South Africa.  This year we were able to donate atlases, wall maps, globes, maths sets and sports equipment.
 
We were all shocked by the appalling quality of facilities and resources available to the children.  Despite this the children there are totally committed to learning and building positive and rewarding lives for themselves.
 
The reason for my approaching everybody on justgiving.com is that following the visit our Invictus group are totally committed to doing whatever we can to help with the development of the school and support the children’s education.  Sadly, the resources they need are not available from local funds and our ambition is to make a difference, no matter how large or small, in helping them.
