Patrons Of The Foundation

The Foundation took a decision to draw important leaders and luminaries into its fold as Patrons who will act as the Foundation’s ambassadors. Ambassadors will be those who are willing to act on the Foundation’s behalf without sitting in its meetings. And Patrons will be public figures who do not mind the Foundation using their profile for its benefit. Some of these patrons include former COSAS activists and community leaders who were involved in the education struggles of the bygone period.
