KLM Board Members Visit South Africa

Earlier this month, KLM Board members Bowen Hsu, Allison Howard-Berry, Dale Mosier, and Anne Harris travelled to Mpumalanga and Johannesburg to visit with KLM Foundation students, alumni, staff, and partners. On May 8, KLM hosted a reception in White River for a broad range of KLM friends and stakeholders including: Uplands College Board members, Uplands teachers, school principals from partner rural schools in KLM’s catchment areas, and local alumni. Most importantly, Board members had the opportunity to spend time with the 10 current KLM students enrolled at Uplands - new 8th graders through soon-to-be-graduating 12th graders. We learned about their experiences at Uplands, favorite teachers and classes, challenges faced and overcome, and hopes for the future.
