South Africa: Humansdorp: a special project…
May 3rd, 2012
Whereas ‘healthy’ kids have the ability to fight for themselves, kids with a disability are completely left to themselves. They are simply dumped…Not welcome in their own family or community.
Gate Humansdorp
In addition to other projects in South-Africa, Heart for Children International launches a new project in the same area: Humansdorp. Our partner organization recently received a very suitable portion of land in Humansdorp (4.800 m2) for the construction of three foster homes. The costs to build these houses are 55.000 euro each.

Melissa was awarded third prize and as an extra bonus she received an honourable mention for her performance of the first part of Oskar Böhme’s concert for Trumpet. Because of her fine ear for music, as well as her pureness and high level of playing, the jury very much appreciated Melissa.
