My name is Kim Harrisberg.
I am 20 years old and study Law, English and Psychology at Wits university in Johannesburg.
I was lucky enough to attend the North Pole Selection camp which I found challenging but extremely enlightening -
it showed me how much the human mind and body are capable of and since then I have a persistent urge to explore this world
further whilst challenging myself as an individual. I enjoy running, yoga and hiking and recently became a part of the Wits
Explorers club from which I hope to learn a lot. I am actively involved in a youth movement that runs educational projects as well
as many social initiatives. An example is a march to the union buildings (in association with Equal Education) that took place recently to demand adequate libraries for
South African schools. I will be running my third 21 km Two Oceans marathon in a weeks time and am excited to see my fitness improve each year.
I hope to end up in a career in the environmental field, potentially in Environmental Law, as this is the direction I want my life to take.
I think the Kape to Kenya project is a perfect example of the capability and responsibility that the youth possess to learn, grow and to make a change in this
life time.
