It was a great privilege to be able to help, albeit in small ways, Marcelle, Rosie and the trustees in raising funds to improve the quality of life of people in Ingwavuma, an impoverished and AIDS-riven part of South Africa. What I find unique and refreshing about this small charity is the combination of the passion they show for the cause matched by a robust approach to ensure that every penny donated is spent wisely. Despite being 8,000 miles from Ingwavuma they are extraordinarily effective in targeting the aid to where it is really needed, facilitated by their regular self-funded visits to the area.
