Every year our girls sit the entrance examination for acceptance into the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls (OWLAG) in Johannesburg, South Africa. The girls must be in Grade 7 (13 years old) and be from a disadvantaged background. Being accepted into OWLAG has been a goal of ours since starting the school in 2012. The subsequent recruitment is rigorous and thorough, as the school takes only the brightest girls from across South Africa, from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds.
We are delighted to announce that Linako, a grade 7 learner at African Angels, has been accepted into OWLAG for 2019. We are over the moon for Linako and the opportunities a fantastic high school education will open up for her.
Linako has attended African Angels since 2012. Thank you for supporting African Angels, that has seen her receive a quality education, that has enabled her to succeed in her quest to attend the Oprah School!
