Leona Scheepers: A Senior Profile Portrait by Haley Jones (2014)

I chose to do my Profile Project on Leona Scheepers, a woman who has devoted her life to helping preschool teachers in the townships surrounding Johannesburg, South Africa. Two years ago, I traveled to South Africa on a service trip where I stayed at Leona's home. After working beside her and learning about the organization she founded, I knew I needed to tell her story. I traveled back to South Africa this past summer to film a profile documentary about Leona and her lifes work. Seeing first hand the difference Leona was making for the education of preschool children was inspiring.
