    Challenging the bigotry of low expectations for township youth is the mission of a new organisation on Grahamstown's NGO map.

    Challenging the bigotry of low expectations for township youth is the mission of a new organisation on Grahamstown's NGO map.

    Inkululeko, a non-profit organisation, provides academic support to pupils in township schools, with the goal of preparing them for university.

    Jason Torreano and Matthew Kellan, former volunteers at Amasango, a special needs primary school, started planning the project in 2010.

    Mid last year, 20 grade 8 pupils were chosen to participate.

    The pupils, from four schools, meet three days a week after school to receive academic support focussing on language, mathematics and natural science.

    The pupils also organise out-of-class activities such as soccer tournaments.

    The organisation will be host a fund-raiser in Grahamstown on Thursday 22 May at Saints Bistro.

    Speakers will talk about the project and the evening includes a three-course meal.

    Proceeds from the R180 charge will go to the organisation.

    For tickets and information, email matt.kellan@inkululeko.org or call 078 646 5856.
