Thank you very much to PiLog for painting and repairing our jungle gym and painting our classrooms
I had the wonderful opportunity to have had a TV Interview with Annette Engelbrecht (Orkney Snork Nie) (South African actor) about the project



Such an  inspiring man from the community! He sells sweets and snacks for a living. One day he was on his way to buy stock and two robbers jumped him and shot him in the legs. They took nothing and ran away. The doctors were unable to repair his legs, and he can't walk properly anymore. However,  that didn't hold him back from going on with his small business. He put his goods on a trolley every day, and pulls it with his crutches, still selling sweets and snacks to the community!   
                                     



This man has a dream and nothing is going to stop him from reaching it!!
