Motivation:
Hi, my name is Nonofo Jacobs and I am a first year student at Stellenbosch university. I don't own any device for studying, I have to use the devices at the university but can't always do so because I live too far from the University. I have to use my phone to access school files, write assignments and etc. I am on bursary but my bursary does not cover the cost of a laptop. The bursary only covers the cost of tuition, books and accommodation at a maximum amount of R100 000. This means I need to buy my own food and toiletries, which I can't afford either. I depend on my friend to help me with food and toiletries because my parents can not afford to buy them. I have tried applying for unemployment benefits so that I can get money every month for food. I have applied for a device at the university but have not been allocated one. I have tried by all means to get a device and I have been unsuccessful each time. Your help would be much appreciated. Kind Regards Miss N P Jacobs
