Pieter is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a law degree at Johannesburg Community College, and is two terms away from graduating. He has worked as a warehouse packer to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $900. The registrar has said Pieter can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Pieter 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 Pieter would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Pieter isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the Johannesburg Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $900 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $460 • Final term tuition: $340 • Exam and lab fees: $50 • Textbooks and materials: $50 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Lungile
