Due to the cost of living and the economic situation in South Africa it is both difficult to afford extramural activities as well as keeping small businesses alive.
Pay it Forward
I have come up with an idea to pay it forward that can support quite a lot of people, directly and indirectly.
I am looking for 10-20 sponsors that would be willing to get behind and support individual students. I am specifically thinking but not exclusively about previously disadvantaged students. Students that show so much promise but do not have the financial means to afford and are kept back due to their financial situation.
I have always tried to help from my side but as an amazing mentor of mine once said.
“You can carry one, and you can carry two, but you cannot carry three on your shoulders.” Jim Rohn
My promise – To pay it forward too
Now my promise is to allocate 100% of sponsors’ fees to securing a dojo for our students for the next two decades.
Please see our BackaBuddy Fundraising effort to make a difference.
