HOPOLANG SCHOOL

Hopolang School is situated in the Khayelitsha Township on the edge of Cape Town. The Township stretches over a vast area and houses some of South Africa's poorest people. 

Hopolang is the only school in the Cape Town area that caters for children from Lesotho (pronounced Lee-su-tu) and which seeks to preserve that country's language and traditions. The children who attend the school are very poor, indeed, and the school has extremely limited resources. The school struggles to provide such basic materials an pens, paper and exercise books, and the children do not have access to computers. The principal, the staff and the children are extremely grateful for any help that comes along.

The Stamford Bridge Group of Parishes are very pleased to help support the school by our donation of money for items required and we remember in our prayers the pupils, staff and those who go out of their way to help.
