His name Zulu force. One could easily say hope, however, or value, or toughness - all attributes that are immediately noticed as soon as speech. It is also a friend to many, a star pupil, and yes, even an aspiring lawyer.
Mandisa is one of the teenagers living in the Hogar San Vicente Children, an orphanage in the small community of Mariannhill, South Africa. Located in the southwest corner of the missionary community, beyond the flooded hospital, beyond the two primary schools, through the historic convent, boys' house is along a narrow road that forms the road again ends. The group of brick buildings built by the Trappist monks over a hundred years ago onto a former cow pasture, and the houses of congested concrete blocks people of the municipality Mpolo the other side. The orphanage buildings form a square Closing wild grass stains and a rickety swing set - a crude, even play space primitive by Western standards, but probably the only place of comfort and security that the children have known.
Like Mandisa, Most children in San Vicente are from KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa's poorest province. More than half of the province's population live on less than two dollars per day. More than a quarter of people are infected with HIV, making KwaZulu-Natal, between the world most affected by the AIDS pandemic. Ravaged by poverty and disease, communities whose children end up in the San Vicente struggle to achieve even the most basic needs. Without intervention, as employment, education, or an adoptive family with greater resources, these are the communities to which children return to reach the maximum age of eighteen old at the orphanage.
So it was with a broken heart that Mandisa said when first told me his dreams of becoming a lawyer. "A lawyer! "he exclaimed," you'll make a great lawyer! "And the truth is that I would. He speaks English better than most other speaking children Zulu at the orphanage, probably even better than children in the surrounding municipalities. Equally confident around children and adults, foreigners and South Africans, strangers and friends, Mandisa exudes a sense of vitality, maturity and compassion that make it as a leader and a friend. Yes, the question is not whether Mandisa would a great lawyer, but if I could. A lack of financial resources and a supportive environment that could encourage it through the continuing education process, Mandisa faces formidable challenges to pursue his dream.
The M Khanyisela Scholarship Program was started in January 2010 by Rachel Beggs and Anne Whiting. They saw first-hand the high academic potential and desire that children at St. Vincent's possessed to pursue careers such as teachers, doctors, or lawyers, and knew the need for such professions in this developing country. They also knew that without support, none of these children would have the financial or social means to access the higher education needed to fulfill their potential.
