Schalk and myself spent our week meeting our new friends at the new two established youthzones sites in Nkomazi region in Mpumalanga. Mbuzini is a very remote impoverished community and the beauty of this windy area is that is situated at the mountains separated by the border of Mozambique, Swaziland and South Africa and it is also where one can easily visit Samora Machel Memorial.

On the 24 August 2013, we came together as a team to do good, we cleaned 2 yards, 1 house and cooked for 1 elder gogo who has no legs; in the Freedompark, damn that felt good even if I have to say that myself.
