▬▬▬▬ YOUTH DAY ▬▬▬▬▬▬
On June 16th of 1976, South African high school students began to protest in what is known as the Soweto Uprising. It was the beginning of the end of the Apartheid government, and opened the way for the revolutionary Nelson Mandela to become president. Now June 16th is called Youth Day to honor the uprising.

▬▬▬▬ IMAGINE SCHOLAR ▬▬▬▬▬
Imagine Scholar is a highly selective four-year, after-school mentorship program for talented, disadvantaged youth across the Nkomazi region of South Africa. We offer a student-centric program that focuses on character development, enhancement of critical thinking skills, and overall English proficiency. We work with the brightest students who are additionally hindered by financial hardship. Despite their humble backgrounds these students have high aspirations and are instilled with endless drive. We empower these young leaders to act as catalysts for personal change and provide service to their community. Our program ultimately offers promising youth the tools needed improve their future, and the future of their community.
