my word i have never been to this place and i stay in Randfontein, this is just heartbreaking to see people and childrend living in this kind of environment, these are the people whom our government failed. im so emotinal right now knowing that i can only feel sorry for them but i will keep them in my prayers. the kids looks so happy and cute, they know nothing about poverty.i wish there was something i can do, something i can help with but i need to have money to help nothing else can change their situation only money for everything, but i will go there and donate old clothes and old furnitures thats on my garage
