FAThis morning I was asked to say a few words at a function held to honour the staff at Embizweni High School in Umlazi, for helping their 2022 matric learners achieve an 82.66% pass rate. ILM-SA funded the function through donations we received for this purpose and each staff member received a certificate and a personalized keyring, and a meal was also provided for them. This is a severely underresourced school and there are no auditoriums or multi purpose centres here. The function was held in a classroom (no air-conditioning or fan), with the name of function written in chalk on the blackboard. Yet there was hearty laughter and good spirits all around at the function, as well as when we entered the school - the learners who come from homes where three meals a day is a luxury were dancing away in celebration of break up day. I hope you will join us all on an outing to the school after Ramadaan, to establish how we can assist more than we currently assist.
Which of Allah's Favours can we deny?
