I am Sibongile Flora Bohloko’s sister, she is currently doing Grade 9. She is so motivated and curious in getting the opportunity to be a student at Oprah Winfrey Learnership Academy for Girls. She is been raised by an unemployed single mother, who would love her daughter to have the best education.
May you provide her with the scholarship for 2018 for Grade 10. Hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you for your consideration
