IN MEMORIAM

“Dependable Service, Affordable Quality”

F.W. de Klerk: Acknowledging Injustice F .W. de Klerk, South Africa’s last apartheid president, died Nov. 11 at 85. He was responsible for freeing Nelson Mandela — who would later become his successor — from prison. DeKlerk and Mandela were jointly awarded a Nobel Peace Prize in 1993. Mount Madonna School students interviewed de Klerk during their 2013 Sawubona-Ngikhona (I see you/Yes, we see you too) learning journey to South Africa.

SPECIALIZING IN

“The fact that our students were able to travel to South Africa and interview various individuals involved in the transition from apartheid to post-apartheid South Africa was an amazing learning experience and one that I hope helped them understand the importance of the truth and reconciliation process, said Values in World Thought teacher and Director of Upper School Shannon Kelly (’92). “The ability to acknowledge and face injustice is the first step in the healing process. I appreciate that Mr. de Klerk helped my students see that lesson in action.” n
