  1. Rutendo

    name is rutendo Kelly manene. I am currently studying at Malibu high School and doing grade 11. I'm writing this letter to you because I feel like this is the only opportunity that will make me the successful lady I want to become one day. I stay in Cape town in the ghetto side. Coming from a disadvantage household is really difficult. So far in my life I've looked for many ways to be successful but somehow am always not successful but it never stops me from trying.I am an athlete at uwc and also run for my school I'm also part of the achieve women SA. I am also part of peace jam SA. I have joined a lot of programs like AMP . programs that will expose me to the world and give me better opportunities but it doesn't seem like I'm being successful. People think I'm crazy that I'm looking for bursaries now it's because I fear that I may not receive one once I'm in grade 12. To be honest I am not academically smart but I do try a lot. Everything I put my mind to in life has always turned me down but I haven't stopped trying. Whoever is reading this letter I just want a bursary that will help me to go to university that's my goal and make money to support my family I can even pay the money back once I'm done studying and working . I've reached a point in my life where I am willing to study any course as long as it makes me successful and helps me to be financially stable. To be honest being a foreigner in a country is painful because they are not many opportunities available for you. And not even my own country can support me (Zimbabwe). Please can you support me and get me out of poverty. I'm just a girl with big dreams. I would be so glad to hear from you guys again . 0692722266
