Time flies, and things are happening

It is now 2011.


TK has grown since he came to Australia. He has learnt recycling, set up his own business, ( Ntokozo Tkd Tours Dube...tourist guide at Soweto Kliptown Youth) and is now smart with money, and works tirelessly for other orphaned and abandoned children.


He commenced his life in much the same way and through his belief in God, he has created a world for other children. The children come, and in whom he developes a "faith" that all will be great in their lives, and that they, have been put on this earth to do "amazing things".


Since he completed the Landmark Forum in Cape Town and through this, and his educational and family connection trip to Australia, he has now seen that there is in fact a world outside Africa. The books were telling the truth, that he can be an intruement of change, and the he can make a difference. As he says " mamma, my eyes are now open".


For me I will never forget him standing on a walking track at the top of Lake St Clair in Tasmania, in the mountain mist, with eyes wide and the slow flow of tears down his dark skin, " Mamma pray with me....you have given me more than any money can, you have given me a life.." " Thank you".


Isn't it amazing, one visit to a far off land, a connection, and a new life gets reborn...
