The Beneficiaries 2. OPERATION MEDICAL HOPE

BENEFICIARY # 2. OPERATION MEDICAL HOPE HOUT BAY SOUTH AFRICA.

Our Rotary centennial twin club, Hout Bay in Cape Town, South Africa are raising funds for their wonderful project Operation Medical Hope. They will be building a "clinic" which will be known as The Coolamon House. From this building they will distribute advice, medicine and assistance to HIV+ mothers to be. The idea is to stop the transmission of HIV/AIDS from mother to child.

Phumlani Nyanga our Rotary sponsored high school student being presented with a Socceroo Football shirt. Phumlani is doing very well at his school and is the perfect gentleman. We are very proud of him. His manner changes dramatically when he gets a football in his hands, he is soccer mad!!

Phumlani goes home to Imizamo Yethu on the weekends.
