Sasha-Lee Laurel, a Play Your Part Ambassador, has partnered with The Regenesys Foundation to help youth from financially disadvantaged backgrounds achieve their dreams of attaining higher education.
Taking to social media to share the good news she posted a clip with the caption,” Watching this video, I can’t help but feel emotional because it took me back to 2015- when I was marching alongside students in the #feesmustfall protest. It’s 6 years later, and I’m now a part of a team that has created ease of access to Tertiary Education. What a full circle moment it is!
Let us remember that these moments, however critical to shaping society are nothing without action. It’s up to us to make the change we want to see".

The partnership was launched on Youth Day June 16 and is made possible through the Education for All Programme, also known as ED4ALL. The Foundation makes education accessible to those who cannot afford high tuition fees.
Says Sasha -Lee, “As people of influence, Private Sector and active citizens it is our responsibility to look into the current framework and identify points of collaboration that meet the needs of society. Thankfully, there are countless opportunities to practice Ubuntu, as encouraged in Brand South Africa’s flagship Play Your Part programme for example, which is a nationwide movement created to inspire, empower and celebrate active citizenship in South Africa.”
