Remember Masende? Harrison’s son who you so kindly helped out with his university admission fees? Well, he passed his first year of his engineering degree! His parents are SO proud of him. Both of them are very low earning unskilled workers who grew up during apartheid where there was very limited access to decent basic education for black people, and obtaining a university education was just about impossible for many, so this is a very big achievement for them, as it would be for any parent actually. Thank you to all of you who made this possible xxxxx

Well done Masende!!

Holy crap and Engineering nogal, I can attest to the fact that an Engineering degree is MOER difficult. Even when you have had a good and privileged model C education and a parent in the field, so this is a remarkable achievement indeed! Well done Masende. You should be extremely proud of yourself!!! Keep at it dude. You rock!

Am I the only one with problems with the feed? I normally read Tertia from my Blackberry (Viigo, to be precise) but it has not updated posts since January 11. Somehow the feed is not working... Any suggestions?
