What our partners are saying...
Our WorldStrides arranged guide, Lerato, knew most everyone in the Soweto community, including Antoinette Sithole, the sister of activist Hector Pieterson. Spending time walking Soweto’s streets was a highlight of the students’ experience. Ms. Sithole connected horrific historical events to the present-day situation and her hopes for South Africa in the future.
