School feeding scheme motivated Albert

In his matric year, Albert Dove always had a smile on his face, and hope for his future. For this he thanks his school’s feeding scheme, which motivated him to attend extra maths and science classes every weekend last year. His dedication has paid off handsomely - with six distinctions in maths and computer applications technology. But Albert, from the Forte High School in Soweto, was most pleased about his perfect score of 100 percent for physical science. “I feel very good because I had aimed very high,” says the delighted Dobsonville teen, who had pushed himself to attain eight distinctions. “I knew if I aimed high I was more likely to get something that would satisfy me. I’ve been studying for 100 percent. My best was my science mark. That really excited me. I studied very hard.” Albert lives with his disabled father, older brother and sister in Dobsonville, but money is tight. “My big brother and sister are working - that’s where we’re getting our income from, and also from my dad’s pension. But the income isn’t enough for me to have lunch money.” The Art of Living Foundation, a humanitarian and educational NGO, runs the school feeding scheme, which sustains 100 to 300 pupils like Albert every school day.
