Meanwhile, Briefly.co.za earlier reported that Kelly Slingers is a local female pilot turned humanitarian who is looking to make a big difference in the lives of underprivileged young ladies who have hopes of one day also taking to the sky in their own aircraft.
Slinger's initiative, which is called, Plane Project, looks to scout out underprivileged young women who have excelled in the fields of maths and science and are looking to enter the field of flying but are unable to do so.
Lesego Mahlodi is one of the young women who Slinger has taken under her wing. While she is currently hunting for funding to pursue her studies, Slingers is certain that will secure the funding soon.
