Abduallah says: “These workshops are for the learners in the Mitchells Plain and Khayelitsha area and we are set up for the workshop that we are having on [Sunday]. 

“We are continuing to work in Mitchells Plain and our next workshop will be for Grade 11 at West End Primary with our partner Portlands school, we want to fill the hall.

“There are learners in Mitchells Plain that are living under challenging circumstances, but they have lots of academic potential and we want to uncover that diamond in the rough.”

The sessions are free and learners are encouraged to register online to confirm attendance.
