Personal message
We (Scott Mallen and David McAlpine) are making our way south from Casablanca to Johannesburg. Public transport (in whatever form) is our only mode of travel.
We are currently traversing East Africa having braved sand, snow and jungles in the north and west of the continent. Now, we have decreasingly efficient modes of transport to look forward to.
Any donation will contribute to a child's annual tuition (about R70 000).
Please take a moment to look at The Key School Website: http://thekeyschool.org. It is one of the only schools of its kind in South Africa, but remains severely underfunded.
