ABOUT THE EVENT:
We are pleased to be hosting an event at the South African Consulate in New York City. The event will offer guests an opportunity to join us at the consulate, learn more about Inkululeko's mission and vision, and socialize with other socially engaged people while snacking on wine and cheese.
ABOUT INKULULEKO:
Inkululeko is a dynamic non-profit organization that serves motivated students in Grahamstown, South Africa.
Our mission is to provide South African township youth with the skills, support, and guidance necessary to apply, attend and succeed in university; to challenge the bigotry of low expectations for township youth; and to provide sustainable, positive change; student-by-student, generation-by-generation.
We contribute to the new South Africa by meeting tomorrows leaders, where they're at, today. We offer free tutoring, access to computers and the internet, transportation, exam prep, a library of textbooks and regular books (and snacks too!) to young people beginning in grade eight and remain with them through grade 12. We also have a social enterprise unit to support students with an entrepreneurial zeal.
Let us tell you about Asanele. He's an Inkululeko learner who loves to talk about Albert Einstein and counts Elon Musk among his idols. Asanele is serious about science. When we took him to the National Science Festival he asked so many questions, the presenter was getting annoyed so he whispered to other people questions that he wanted to have answered -- so they could ask.
Last summer, with our help, he went quite nervously to a National Science Competition where he competed against other accomplished young people.
He won big. Asanele got a four-year scholarship to any institution in all of South Africa.
Each year, when Inkululeko re-opens, there are far more applicants than spots available.
We want to work with people like you to expand our capacity to serve more young people each
year.
After all, we know there are more Asaneles out there. We're hoping you can help us reach them.
