Oprah Winfrey Opened School No. 2 for Poor South African Youth

Despite persistent controversy occurs concerning her new South African school, the "Oprah Winfrey's Leadership Academy for Girls," which is claimed as 'too strict,' Oprah Winfrey opened her second school.

Oprah has on Friday March 16th opened her second school for poor South African youth, Seven Fountains Primary School. Claimed as one innovative, environmentally friendly institution, the talk show host hopes the school will be a model for public education.

"The Seven Fountains School is an example of what schools in South Africa can become," Oprah said at the school's formal dedication outside the remote town of Kokstad in eastern KwaZulu-Natal province.

Funded by Oprah's Angel Network, a public charity that supports organizations and projects focused on education and literacy, the lessons at Seven Fountains School began earlier this year.
