some information...

Thought I might put some extracts from the excellent book about GGA, to give a flavour of what I shall be involved in... Here's the first of those, it's not easy reading.

‘The shadowy impressions of two human faces appear in the front window of a nearby rondavel. Heather sees them and waves. “If you look to the left of that hut you will see two graves by the neighbouring dwelling with a large piece of roof missing on the corner, and the windows broken. I’ve just seen people in there. The water is pouring into that house. They are kids and they don’t know how to cope, how to rebuild their house. They don’t have the means, and there are no adults to show them. They are probably starving, and yet they are not even on our programme.”
She sighs: “It’s a crisis. South African society in the rural areas is imploding, but many people in other parts of the world don’t yet grasp how serious it is, and many richer people in this country don’t seem to think it’s their problem.”’
