I felt for all of them, that is why I started this. I want to make a difference. I want to make someone’s day and help them go to school feeling fresh and clean” she said

She is up and above asking donations on Twitter. KEEP A GIRL CHILD IN SCHOOL has started receiving some donations and that can only mean good news. She chose Thagalane Secondary school at Ga-Mphahlela in Dithabaneng to be the first school she will donate to on February 25th.
