This is Sanele Sbiya that I met a couple of weeks ago. A very outspoken young boy who lives in the sugercane farms of Pongola. His mother is dead. He has never been to pre school since the preschool is 30 km away.
When his father is out working this young man stays alone in his home which is surrounded by sugercane and banana trees which are very much attractive to dangerous snakes like mambas and python. Several people have already been killed by snakes in this area.
He do wish to go to school one day but it is very hopeless since the preschool is mandatory in South Africa to be prepared for grade R in school.
With your support to the AKNM Foundation we will be able to negotiate and pay them who drive the kids to the preschool to also include Sanele in their transportation plans.
