Volunteer work
My volunteering experience began in my simple hometown, where I worked as a sales assistant at the Ladysmith Hospice bookstore throughout high school. I filled in at the palliative care homes, spending time with residents and preparing meals if required.
In Grade 10, I organized a fundraiser for an underpriveleged high school in the Roseboom township area, accumulating enough finances for matric students' text books and new desks for their classrooms.
After matric, I was involved with various social responsibility initiatives - one that stands out being the fashion show fundraiser I organized for the matriculants of an underprivileged school in Cape Town.
My passion in outreach lies with education, as I believe that knowledge is the real key to success.
