Sponsorship offers 100 bursaries, prizes
The Omo bursary campaign, which furthers education among primary and high school learners throughout South Africa, has kicked off its 2011 campaign by offering R1 million worth of bursaries to 100 consumers. Apart from the bursaries, there are also airtime, school socks and school shirts available as prizes in the competition, which runs until the end of January 2012.
Over the years, bursary funds have paid for uniforms, books and school fees and seen young adults complete degrees and diplomas at universities and colleges countrywide.
Ethne Whitley, spokesperson for Omo, says, "Education is key to success, as it gives children a chance of a brighter and more successful future. With unemployment rates at an all-time high, it's important that children are given the best opportunity possible to complete and further their education. During the past 10 years, the company has awarded over R10 million worth of bursaries to South African learners."
