Bloemfontein - A Ph.D. student from the University of the Free State is using her research to make a difference in the rural town of Jagersfontein.

The Diamonds in the Rough gumboots group is a psycho-education group assembled by Lerato Machetela using elements such as education, entertainment and psychology.
