Riaan is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a pharmacy diploma at George State College, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a library assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,000. The registrar has said Riaan can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Riaan has a first-class average, and an academic advisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Riaan would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Riaan 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 $1,000 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $410 • Final term tuition: $480 • Exam and lab fees: $110 With deep gratitude, Nomsa

  • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Fresno.

    • Hope it all works out, Nomsa. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Blessings.

      • I hope things turn around soon. Love from Atlanta.
