Thembalitsha is the Xhosa word for New Hope. The School of Hope is an education project of the Thembalitsha foundation, situated in Athlone, Cape Town. They provide hope through education for youth at risk and vulnerable youth. They are a registered special needs school and their students enjoy individual attention in small classes within a trusting learning environment.
The School of Hope accepts any youngster who chooses to complete their education as opposed to going back to a life of crime, unemployment and poverty! Currently they are able to accommodate 70 learners in classes from grades 9 -12, and they also provide each student with a nutritious lunch every day seeing as many of them don’t receive regular meals at home. The school has become indispensable in the community and rely mostly on sponsorships to be able to provide these facilities.
The Hope music festival is an annual event and Express Cape Town was fortunate to be able to contribute to this event. The Hope 2012 music festival was held on the 1st December in Cape Town and with bands such as The Parlotones and Watershed it was truly a spectacular fun filled day. Almost 200 bracelets were donated and an amount of R10 000 were sponsored in support of the event.
