Welcome back to Grace.  

We're now in graduation season when students can celebrate the end of their studies and hard work. For some, their circumstances in leading to graduation may have been more challenging than others. Congratulations to them all and particularly to Nelisiwe Shabalala who spoke about her incredible journey after striving to make a better future for her son. 

 Thanks for reading.
