Beautiful News recently published a video about Chanene Van As, a former educator with 18 years of experience under her belt.

Also listen to: Meet the Bloemfontein doctor who is changing medicine!

She saw a massive gap in the education of the young girls in her community and decided to dedicate her life to change that, and so 'The Green Door' was born! It's an after-school initiative to assist primary school girls who are at risk academically, teaching them life skills, recycling, gardening, and more.

I got to speak to Chanene about 'The Green Door' and her passion for changing the lives of her community members.
