Matric Year1975
"All of my high school teachers and the KD environment had a significant influence on me. I learned how to learn, how to debate, and how to compete on sports and all fields. I also learned in October 1973 in Jerusalem, with many KD friends together with Israeli family. I am still very connected to Israel and Africa, with a value system that was born at home, and cultivated at KD."
