Before the Golden Globes on Sunday, the girls from Oprah’s school in South Africa gradauted on Saturday.
The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls graduated its first class and out of the 75 girls who enrolled in 2007, already 72 will be walking the aisle.
What’s even better? Every graduate is going to college!!!
The girls will be headed to South African and American universities.
Oprah commented on the girls’ special day, saying:
“Every single girl is going to leave here with soothing greater to offer the world than her body.”
“I know what it’s like to be a poor girl with your heart’s desire to do well in the world. I chose to use my philanthropy to do what I know.”
