From the article:
A group of Rhodes University Community Engagement student volunteers in the BuddingQ programme have been hard at work during the national lockdown period. They have translated over 85 books into five different official languages, IsiXhosa, Zulu, Afrikaans, Sepedi and Sesotho. The volunteers are working with the national non-profit organisation, Book Dash. The organisation’s mission is to make sure every child in South Africa owns 100 books by the age of five. All content is created by volunteers, who craft a book from start to end over a 12-hour period.
