Today Gcinisizwe and I did something different, we went to the local grocery store and bought gift certificates. Today we literally walked down the street and handed out R100 gift certificates to 25 men. Men were dancing in the streets and so excited, everyone that received the certificates high tailed it to the grocery store and loaded up on rice, pap and other essentials. Many of the men hugged us in a tight embrace, nobody has ever helped them before, we were the first.

An unexpected surprise for those who are struggling.
Today I walked down the street and saw hundreds of men who all looked hungry, and were all hoping to obtain work. The unemployment rate is so high here that the men literally cover the sides of the roads, they stand there hoping that someone will stop and offer them work. Sadly most men do not receive work and must return home hungry with no food to feed their families.
