CARNIVAL Corporation has donated US$10,000 to the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy Foundation to help support university scholarships for graduates of the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa.
The cruise line made the announcement during its participation in the Centenary Delegation to the country to mark the 100th birthday of former South African President Nelson Mandela.
“I am truly honoured to present the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls with this donation,” said Carnival Corporation’s chief procurement officer Julia Brown (pictured right).
“But more importantly, to have the opportunity to meet the intelligent and determined young women at the school that are so focused on their education,” she added.
