Ekurhuleni
Jabu is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a degree in social work at Ekurhuleni Community College, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,150. The registrar has said Jabu can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Jabu has a 3.6 average, and a department head has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Jabu would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Jabu isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $1,150 goes: • Final term tuition: $410 • Exam and lab fees: $30 • Outstanding tuition balance: $710 Thank you for reading my story.
