Welcome Letters
Our class name is Desmond Tutu.
Desmond Tutu grew up in South Africa during the time of apartheid. This meant that only white people had the best: the best schools, jobs, homes, hospitals and even bus seats.
Desmond hoped that someday, with God's help, discrimination might come to an end.
Desmond has challenged injustice and hatred throughout his life.
