Phumlani S.

My name is Phumlani and I am18 years old. I live in South Africa, in a township near Cape Town called Langa. Currently, I am in grade 12 at Isilimela Comprehensive School. My dream is to finish tertiary and if I can make that happen I would be the first person in my family to continue with my studies until tertiary and beyond. At home we are a family of eight of which I am the youngest. Continuing with my studies and finding a right job would be my key to success. I want to help my family break from poverty, leave the township and own my own, private room for the first time in my life.
