After many weeks trying to find out on how we can create our own foundation to help others, we have decided that it’s better to make one non profitable organization stronger that to have many small organizations. We had a meeting last Sunday with the Val Laue, the president of the SSVP of Park Rynie. This is great news for us because the SSVP has been helping South Africans for many years now.
