To date, Thusangwanageno, which is registered with the department of social development, has put over 600 needy students through higher education and helped many others to obtain driver’s licences. He said aside from lecturers, many of the people who contributed to his studies were not rich, but lowly paid people like domestic workers, security guards, street vendors and hawkers.
“Besides collecting from intersections, I have colleagues who donate a lot and I am thankful for their kindness. A lot more still needs to be done because many needy students still do not have access to tertiary education. Not because they are not academically gifted and have no potential, but simply because they are poor. That is sad.”
“Whenever I told the friend I did not have any money, he would protest and scold me, saying Ga obatle go thusa ngwanageno, meaning “I did not want to help my sibling” in Setswana.Molepo did not go unnoticed. He said parliament and the presidency gave him an award for his immense contribution to his community.
Selflessness Thank you!!
