I was born in the very poor township of Botshabelo outside Bloemfontein. It was not easy for my family and me. At times I had to pick up plastic bottles to make an open fire so we could cook and heat water etc. I used to walk about 50 kilometres to Bloemfontein to look for work, but I ended up being a street kid.
With my background I couldn’t have achieved what I did without other people’s help. Therefore I’m very aware of the kids out there who go to school without breakfast and a lunch box and the families who go to bed without food. That is why I try so hard to help the little kids.
Bishop Mpilo Tutu said "Motho ke motho ka batho, umntu ngumntu ngabantu” (A person is a person because of other people.) I live by these words.
We are devoted to global development, the mitigation of hunger and poverty in our communities, and the improvement of health and education. To achieve these aims, we work with the community to provide information about global development, attract the public's attention, and raise funds to organise activities addressing various poverty issues.
