Hi Everyone,

It's nearly time for the best speakers from our province to attend the South African Schools' Debating Championships. As the competition is unusually expensive this year we are having difficulties raising the necessary funds to subsidize our speakers. We are calling on everyone to, if possible, please donate some money towards this cause. Every little bit helps and we would appreciate it if everyone could do what they can to help us reach out goal. So share widely!

Please follow this link to the fundraising page: https://clickndonate.com/help-team-eastern-cape-attend-nationals-2018-r33-000/

Yours in debating,
