7/22 Princess Gabo Foundation

We went to Albert Moroka High School where they implemented the baby dolls project. The school is partnered up with the Princess Gabo Foundation. They were advocating to the students the consequences of teenage pregnancy. Instead of having the responsibility of babies at an early age, they encouraged students to pursue higher education and travel the world. The students' discipline and mannerisms were on point. Not only that they showed us respect, the students' showed Princess Gabo the utmost respect. 

Afterwards Princess Gabo guided us to the Chief Moroka Memorial Site as she described her lineage and how she became the Princess of Thaba' Nchu. At the memorial site, we encountered some of her family members. The ladies informed us on the issues that women of the community were encountering such as poverty, inadequate job skills, lack of education and single parent homes.  They decided to be proactive by educating the women through home economics so it could empower women and children to become self sufficient.
