A 13 year old Welsh schoolgirl, Lucille Sticker, from Waterhall Secondary School in Cardiff wrote a goodwill message and hoped that her letter would be passed on to any African girl in Cape Town. The letter was addressed to the “Head girl, any non-European Secondary School, Cape Town South Africa”. It was unfortunately delivered to the Cape Department of Education.
