Working on the Culcheth 2 Soweto project hasn’t been easy; I have spent 2 years dedicating my time and effort to become one of the 24 students chosen from a 100+. It has involved a lot of hard work and commitment. To get this far I had to raise a substantial amount of money; each of the 24 students have raised £600 or more. Everyone has their own method of raising their money from cake sale to sponsored runs. To start with I sold tea and coffee at my local rugby club, I raised between £30-£120 every Sunday. After that I did raffles at my local pub. The group events raised about £90 per student; we did events such as croft carnival. Throughout the 2 years I have had lots of new experiences such as fundraising, team work and one of the more humbling experiences was having one of the matsaliso students staying with me for a week. Having Tinkyoko here made me more grateful for everything I have, especially the school facilities available to us for us to learn and succeed in.
