Rising Sixth Former Jenny Yates has just returned from South Africa, where, over a 10-day period, she oversaw the construction of an open-air classroom in a rural township that will change the lives of the children who attend the local elementary school there. Jenny first hatched the idea of the outdoor classroom after returning from her first trip to the township in 2012. She worked with the non-profit Universal Promise to raise $12,000 to build a playground, soccer field, vegetable garden and more.
Jenny's story was featured on the front page of The Providence Journal on July 21. Read the entire article here:
