My daughter, Fiona, is 13 and in Year 10. Fiona loves school but statistics has been a struggle since the school was closed during the floods. The SAT exam is in April. We can't afford a private tutor, and the school's free sessions are full. We're looking for a volunteer who could spend an hour or two a week, in person in Johannesburg or online, for about ten weeks. Fiona is polite, hardworking and eager. We have a quiet space and a laptop for online sessions. I'll always be at home for in-person sessions. If you're a teacher, student or professional who feels comfortable in statistics, you could change the course of Fiona's year. Glad we found this place.

    As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Sent it to 34 people at work. Love from Gazipur

    • Hope things get better soon, Themba. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together.

      • It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Glasgow so I could bring a meal

        • Keep going. Shared this with my family. I hope April is when things finally get easier. Take care.

                • Sending love, Themba. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Dundee.
