Testimonials

“This experience has opened my eyes to the kindness and selflessness of underprivileged children in South Africa. They have all been a pleasure to coach and have never failed to make me laugh. It is a beautiful thing to see them all going home with smiles on their faces.Jack Hulme , Cricket, South Africa -
“I will never forget the time that one of the games came down to the last ball with 2 runs to win. The youngest kid on the team was facing the final delivery and chipped it over the infield to scramble the winning runs. His teammates then ran onto the pitch and lifted him into the air, cheering his name – magical.”Charles El-Nemer , Cricket, South Africa -
