The Grootbos Foundation would like to congratulate Viola on passing all of her exams!

Viola Siyotywa has completed her Higher Diploma in Adult Basic Education and Training at the College of Human Sciences.  This Diploma enables her to teach and train adults.

Viola started as a Green Futures student in 2006 and has since become a facilitator in both the Green Futures and Growing the Future projects!

In a recent letter to her benefactor, Viola said:

“It is a pleasure for me to get the chance to write to you again. My year was fantastic.

I have enjoyed myself being studying and working. I feel good about myself for managing to do two things in my life, studying and working. You have supported me a lot. The peers were also very positive to me. They have encouraged me.

As a result I have passed all my assignments during the year. I have worked step by step at a time. On the 18th of October I will be writing my final exams. I’m looking forward to get good results this year as well.

I have got plans for next year. I want to see myself being in a good job and permanently employed. I am seeing myself more empowered and developed in my mind.

I want to pass what I have learnt to the other people, (to teach what I have been taught). If there are more opportunities for me to study further, I will. There are lots of things we can learn. We learn until we die!

I wish to show my appreciation for what you have done.”

Congratulations Viola!  We are so proud of you!
