"Children raised in poverty today will grow up in circumstances that, the data tell us, will give them a small, if not negligible, chance of following a path that will lead them to a markedly better place than where they began."
Our first day in Port Elizabeth was most definitely monumental and life changing. We began by traveling to a local primary school in Port Elizabeth. The Volkswagon Company is sponsoring a revitalizing effort to refurbish the school. Volunteers, staff, and locals helped by retilling, painting designing murals, and landscaping. The students have been on holiday and will return for their academic school year on Monday. Teachers are excited about the enthusiasm and joy the amazing changes in the school environment will bring to the students.
