This enterprise project was first offered to us at the beginning of year eight when we were instructed to raise about 150 pounds for the students of Matseliso to come over to England. To raise this money we had to work collaboratively and as an individual. These fundraisers could be anything from cake sales to car washes. As a result we altogether raised a significant amount of money so in the following July the lucky students from Soweto came over to us. Some of them stayed in the homes of a few of the people in the project in England. They also visited key landmarks in England and joined in with our lessons. Sadly we had to say goodbye to these students. The next week we had to plan a short presentation to justify why we should be chosen as one of the fortunate students to go back over there in the October of 2015. Out of 60 people who presented themselves only 24 got chosen to go. If we were one of the people to get picked we would have to contribute more of our time to raise even more money for us to go over. Over the last year we have fundraised a lot more money to go over.
This project has not just been about competing to see who will go over, but it has been about teamwork, communication and organisation. It has taught us to show how much we want to go and it will be a time that we will remember forever.
