General Manager of the Table Bay Hotel and birth of first FEET project in conjunction with the hotels CSI project.
Personal Message
Many of us stumble through life, busy with the business of gathering, storing and preparing for tomorrow. Yet, lifes lessons can only be learned through slowing down and living the moment. The now. Not repeating mistakes and applying wisdom, requires sharing and giving to others. The challenge: To master making a difference in someones life, takes real courage and commitment : often requiring to release those things you spent so much time gathering. Thats the real hard part. And by giving unconditionally to these children, can release you from the attachment to the material and lead you closer to things that you can carry with you after you leave this life. The pitter-patter of feet you are helping are tiny yet the feat you conquer is eternal.

The mystic Hillel, has said: If you are not for yourself, who is going to be for you? If you are only for yourself, then what meaning can life ever have?
Many children grow up in an environment that teaches them that they are worthless. FEET shows these kids that they are important. Lets give them this opportunity to be loved unconditionally and help them stay on their journeys of greatness - their journeys through life.

We live in a world of severe imbalance and one does not have to look too far to be reminded of this disproportion.

Did you know that the flapping of a butterflies wings in one part of the world can cause a hurricane in another part of the world. Amazing isn’t it? This is called the butterfly effect. Just as this butterfly effect, small things like a smile, a kind word, a hug, your time or maybe a financial contribution can change another persons life forever.

Graphic Designer at Ranger Outback Promotions.
Personal Message
In this life the chasm between rich and poor is very great. But what is it that makes a man great, is it wealth or education, or perhaps status? The measure of a man is not in what he owns, but in what he does with what he owns. Sharing the measure of grace given to him with those who have received a lesser portion. Life is short, let us make it count by giving hope to others and enabling them to have a better future.
