Helping the poorest
Since 1998 Becky Young, of North Carolina, USA, has been helping the community of Winterveld. She registered a charity organisation in the US and the Mabopane Foundation was born. Regular garage sales are held in the US and the money is sent to Winterveld. Becky recently made her 6th visit to the community, with her husband and 2 daughters. The Mabopane Foundation has 10 American members and recently collected R100 000 from a concert they organised. Next year, the foundation hopes to build a community hall in Winterveld.
