SOS Africa Children’s Charity is thrilled to announce that Ameleo Benans, an exemplary learner sponsored by the non-profit organisation (NPO), has been appointed Head Boy of Grabouw High School for the 2025 academic year. This is a historic first for an SOS Africa-sponsored child and has generated excitement across the charity’s education programmes in South Africa. Ameleo was part of the first group of Grade 1 children sponsored by SOS Africa – a grassroots NPO which funds the education and care of disadvantaged township children to help them break out of poverty – back in 2014. Over the years he and other sponsored children have thrived thanks to the holistic education and care provided by the charity’s Grabouw Education Centre and the support of global sponsors. Ameleo’s appointment was announced at a school assembly, and he expressed his gratitude and commitment to fulfilling his new role. SOS Africa Grabouw Centre Manager Sharnice Barties and Ameleo’s parents, Andre and Suraya Benans, also shared their pride and gratitude for this achievement. The charity extended its heartfelt congratulations to Ameleo and wishes him success in his new role.Foto:
