“Dear Mr President, hope is not cancelled.”
These are the words of kindness from the class of 2020 from Felixton College, near Empangeni in KwaZulu-Natal, to President Cyril Ramaphosa.
The pupils put together the moving video for Ramaphosa, sending thanks and messages of hope.
“The Class of 2020 is remaining steadfast in the hope that the academic year will be salvaged.
“We are so proud of you guys and cannot wait to see you back at school again,” wrote Felixton College on Facebook.
The video begins with the pupils saying, “Dear Mr President, we want to say thank you for being the leader that you are and for showing us that there is light at the end of this tunnel.”
" ... we learn not to take things for granted like before ... to appreciate every hug, to do the things you might be scared to do, to live ... because in an instant everything could change,” it said at the end.
Dear Mr President, hope is not cancelled!Hope is not cancelled......The Class of 2020 is remaining steadfast in the hope that the academic year will be salvaged. A few of our Grade 12 pupils have contributed to this outstanding message to the President, directed and edited by Shiven Govender, talking about COVID 19, showing clips of togetherness and sending out a message of hope. We are so proud of you guys and cannot wait to see you back at school again! Thank you for seeing light at the end of the tunnel. #alonetogether #stayinghomesaveslives
