Digital Arts Workshop in Pinetown, Durban




The Pearson Foundation Africa team is spending the week with some amazing students in Durban, South Africa!

These kids will learn to write, shoot, and edit their own films about social issues that affect them all, such as HIV/Aids and drug abuse in their community. Most come from very underprivileged homes. In S.A. this means living day-to-day wondering where the money for meals will come from. These students recognize the importance of education as a way out of poverty.

The program, serving 33 students at Sithokozile Secondary School, is sponsored by the Pearson Foundation, the NEA Foundation, and Caversham Press in South Africa.
