Wendy Lovett, a popular teacher at the South African math and science school COSAT, returned to her native United Kingdom recently. But she’s leaving behind more than memories. She’s leaving behind a bright, colorful classroom that students say helps them to achieve success.
A student from Miami who graduated as her high school valedictorian, was accepted to Dartmouth and with hopes of becoming a cardio-thoracic surgeon, very nearly lost her opportunity because her parents kept her in the country illegally when she was 4. She won a temporary reprieve, but she’s fighting for more for herself and others like her.
