My personal journey to South Africa happened on September 2007 when Element six ( formerly known as De Beers) flew me out there for a job interview. While I was in South Africa I decided to spend time to reach out to these beautiful children. It was definitely a blessing to be able to give to those less fortunate. This will be an ongoing project for me as I hope to return back to South Africa as soon as i can get away from my responsibilities.
