Southfields Community College are involved in an ambitious plan to create a long lasting link with an underprivileged school and community in Cape Town, South Africa.

They are asking for donations to raise money for a visit to Cape Flat where they aim to develop sustainable projects that will improve the quality of student life there and to gain an understanding and knowledge of how others live and survive.

Natasha Wilson, head of year 9 at the college, said: “Our students have been selected because of their motivation, drive and dedication to wanting to help a community who have less than the basic living requirements they need.”
