Johannesburg, South Africa (02 April 2026) – <\/em>A bright young learner from Johannesburg is set to take her talents to the global stage, and she\u2019s making South Africa proud while doing it.<\/p>\n Ten-year-old Kitana Inderpal has been selected to represent the country at the AsiaRope International English Olympiad in Bangkok, Thailand, following an impressive run at the national level. Her results speak volumes: she achieved Gold status, placed third in the South African Olympiad national round, and secured second place in the AsiaRope national round.<\/p>\n Now, she\u2019s preparing to compete against learners from across the world, with participants expected from between 10 and 20 countries. It\u2019s a massive opportunity to test her academic skills and to gain international exposure and experience at a young age.<\/p>\n But Kitana\u2019s achievements don\u2019t stop in the classroom. She\u2019s a well-rounded learner who continues to shine in different spaces. Her English work has already been featured in her school\u2019s quarterly newsletter, and she was recognised as one of ten winners in the Yokico competition. On top of that, she also volunteers her time at a local veterinary practice.<\/p>\n This next step in her journey is a big one, but it does come with high costs. The total for the trip is estimated at around R75,000, covering flights, accommodation and competition-related expenses. While her family is fully behind her and committed to supporting her dream, they are reaching out for additional support to help make this opportunity a reality.<\/p>\n Every contribution, no matter the size, can help take Kitana one step closer to representing South Africa on an international stage.<\/p>\n For those who would like to support her or find out more, you can follow the link here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
