<description>&lt;p&gt;In this podcast we are going to look at what viruses are. &amp;nbsp;Viruses are a type of microorganism.

They come in many different shapes and are present wherever there are cells to infect. In fact, viruses are the most common biological unit on Earth, outnumbering all other types combined!&lt;/p&gt;

Welcome to the TEN Podcast!

At TEN we collaborate with our funding partners to develop communities in rural and township areas across all 9 provinces of South Africa. We believe working together provides additional capacity, focus, and momentum to education, required to eradicate the impact of both income inequality and poverty, experienced by many South Africans on a daily basis.
