NEW YORK, NY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Founder & President Kenneth R. Hieber announced that several high-profile 2AFRIKA products will include Community Visits in keeping with the company’s commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility in Tourism. “It is my hope,” said Hieber at a press conference “that our passengers will imbibe this new feature and see their way fit to making on-site donations to the efforts nurtured by both the Amazing Grace Children’s Home as well as the Community Farm School.”
AMAZING GRACE CHILDREN’S HOME (Malelane, Mpumalanga)
Founded by Grace Mashaba, the Amazing Grace Children’s Home cares for AIDS orphans, abused children and human trafficking victims in a bright and cheery environment. It was registered as an NGO in 1990, and now comprises a church, dormitory, playroom, dining room and sport facilities. Foreign student social workers offer their voluntary assistance in exchange for practical experience.
COMMUNITY FARM SCHOOL (Barrydale, Western Cape)
During the 1960’s farmers in the area decided to build a school for the laborers’ children. The multi-grade school offers education to children from Grades 1 – 6, with four classrooms, two teachers (one of whom is the principal) and an administrative clerk. The school receives a “Norms and Standards” allocation from the government which subsidizes school fees, text books and general expenses.
